"SWING THAT CLASSIC" plays only classical music (mainly opera arias), but in the style of traditional New Orleans and swing jazz.
We work with very elaborate arrangements, ans respect for the original scores of the opera arias, crossing them with traditional New Orleans jazz standards, as naturally and simply as possible.
Here are some of the happy musical marriages we offer:
- "NESSUN DORMA (TURANDOT)" and "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?",
- "LIBIAMO" (TRAVIATA) and "MUSKRAT RAMBLE",
- "DUO DES FLEURS" (LAKME) and "PENNIES FROM HEAVEN", with an adaptation of the lyrics in French,
- "LASCIA CH'IO PIANGA" and "ST. JAMES INFIRMARY"
We can play acoustically, with just a self-managed microphone for the voice
Singer, trumpet, tenor saxophone, piano, double bass, washboard

We need a performance space of at least 8 meters x 5 meters. We need parking spaces.
We need a recently tuned acoustic piano. Digital keyboards don't have our preference, but they still are possible. We can rent the piano if you don't want to rent it yourself, but we will charge a supplement for that.
For an audience up to 100 people, we can play acoustically (except the voice who will sing with a self-managed microphone).
For a larger audience, we can come with our technical and sound director, with a supplement for that too.
To play in the night, we are autonomous (we will come with our light director and we will charge a supplement for it).
We need to play in a shaded place, outside or inside.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from any music platform before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
We performed in many jazz festivals with this band.
We performed in many luxurious and more humble hotels.
It's always a pleasure to play for important events, public or private ones.
Our best recompense is the smiles on the faces we meet during the day...
We love to play for weddings, overall. Especially for people who appreciate sophisticated music and good moments.
We all are professionals for many years. One of us is musician since 1977. Other band members play music since late 1990/2000. We played in different countries, for every type of events. It's our life, we love that.
Every sincere artist inspires us. The greatest song s are those who last through ages.
We normally arrive 2 hours, at least, before the performance to set up, check the sound and have a short break before the music starts. We adapt the sets length to your needs and event. Up to 2 hours of music, with at least one break, seems a very good length to us. It can be less or a bit more, we can talk about that with you.
Playing outside is always welcome. We just need a shaded and flat place, with a power supply (at least).
We prefer the clients to pick in our list. For special requires, we need to know them in advance, specially during spring, summer or autumn, because we have a lot of gigs during these seasons.
During concerts, the audience always gives us a standing ovation, with tears of joy on the cheeks!
