People Swing Orchestra

People Swing Orchestra is a jazz band playing traditional swing with a personal twist. In the spirit of the swing the band takes the listener on a journey filled with joy and playfulness. The band is based in Gothenburg and consists of nine outstanding young musicians who are passionate about the swinging jazz. The members are all active in many different genres, but jazz music as common ground. The initiative for the People Swing Orchestra was in 2012, and since then a large number of gigs made in jazz clubs, lindy hop compounds, parties and festivals. In February 2015 People Swing Orchestra recorded there debut album Delight in the Cellar Room Studio in Gothenburg. The album is released on Imogena spring 2016 (IGCD 224). On Delight has everything that constitutes People Swing Orchestra concentrated in the eleven tracks. Even if the disc recorded in the studio, the band has managed to retain its characteristic live feeling and joy. Original compositions interspersed with their own writing arrangements of classic American standard songs.
