Alberto Burguez Swing Mood is a quintet that revives the energy of swing. With a repertoire inspired by the great masters of the genre, the band combines groove, improvisation and a powerful sound that makes it impossible to sit still.
Inspired by the wild hot sounds of 1930s/40s Harlem, Kansas City and Chicago jazz, The Big Five, featuring Nicolle Rochelle have established themselves as Berlin's most authentic swing-era combo and for the last 6 years have thrilled dancers and audiences in 20 different countries around the world. Combining a driving rhythm section, a fiery horn-led frontline and dynamic song-arrangements, this international band makes a deep-dive into the ornate and irrepressible repertoire of the Swing Golden Age - as well as a strong emphasis on original compositions.
Under the baton of Dani Alonso, the Barcelona Jazz Orchestra (BJO) takes the reins of the Sala Apolo in a session full of class, where swing and bop are as protagonists as the dancers who fly over the dance floor with their elegant turns.
Strength on stage and at street level is guaranteed when Le Dancing Pepa play. A Valencian sextet in the swing jazz style that takes us to New York in the twenties. The inheritance from that time is palpable in each of his interpretations. The best of blues, lindy hop, swing classical and jazz reinterpreted from the present
On the rhythmic base, Le Dancing Pepa have guitar, drums and double bass. In the melodic part the trombone, trumpet and alto sax come into play. The group treasures a large number of arrangements originals of classic jazz themes, while creating his own compositions.
