About / Biography

The Swing Lane Jazz Ensemble finds it’s roots in Trieste and Slovenia.

The ensemble's main purpose is to take listeners into different musical worlds: from subtle cosy athmospheres to swanging dancing rhythms and energetic playing.

We can organize both inside and outside venues. It is our job to take care of all musical aspects of your event’s organization: we present a special jazz program including vocal and instrumental evergreens from Luis Armstrong to Miles Davis.

Personell:

  • Jan Lovsin - voice, trumpet

  • Blaz Pahor - piano

  • Simone Lanzi - double bass

  • Francesco Vattovaz - drums

About them:

The cats started to play together in the multi-cultural environment of the Mittel-European coast of the Northern Adriatic Sea and their music is inspired by great players from the be-bop, cool and hard bop Jazz-Eras of the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Thus they offer a really wide and colorful variety of Jazz standards in their elegant and classy private events. They also perform continously in the artistic musical environment of Europe with multiple different projects from Italy, Slovenia, Austria and Croatia.
