Charleston, Swing, Hot Jazz! The band "The Swingin' Bluebirds" has set itself the task of keeping the diverse music of the “Roaring Twenties” and the early 1930s alive. Their repertoire includes a wide range of arrangements drawn 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 familiar ensembles. These bands thrilled audiences more than 70 years ago, and their sound remains deeply fascinating to this day.
For more than 35 years, this small “big band” has enriched Dresden's jazz scene. "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 performance, they captivate audiences and bring the spirit of an exciting era in music history back to life.
