Charleston, swing, hot jazz! The band "The Swingin' Bluebirds" has made it its mission to keep the multifaceted music of the “Roaring Twenties” and the early 1930s alive. Their repertoire includes a wide range of arrangements from renowned orchestras such as Fletcher Henderson, Joe "King" Oliver, Duke Ellington, the McKinney's Cotton Pickers, the Mills Blue Rhythm Band and many other perhaps less well-known ensembles. These bands thrilled audiences more than 70 years ago, and their sound still has enormous appeal today.
For more than 35 years, this small “big band” has enriched the jazz scene in Dresden. "The Swingin' Bluebirds" were founded in 1989 and found their distinctive style in 1992, when they expanded into an orchestra of ten talented musicians. Since then, the band has played at countless events throughout Germany and at international festivals and competitions in Austria, the Netherlands, France, Poland, Denmark and England. With their catchy music and spirited performances, they captivate audiences and bring the spirit of an exciting era in music history back to life.
