The Swingaraiders Bigband was formed in 2001 and is made up of around 20 musicians of all ages ranging from 17- 27.
Totally conform to the original "old" Bigbands of the 20's and 40's the Band consists of 5 saxophones, 4 trombones, 5 trumpets and a rhythm-section containing 5 people.
The ensemble is completed by a female and a male vocalist. The heart of the repertoire mainly are songs of the kings of swing like Glenn Miller or Duke Ellington. Numerous Rock'n'Roll Funk and Retro-Swing titles are part of the programm as well, supplemented by the hits of the Blues Brothers, well-known soundtracks and unforgotten classics.
With that diversified repertoire the Swingaraiders Bigband covers a period of 70 years. Therefore and because of their impressive and humorous shows everybody is enthusiastic either within private party engagements up tp jazz-club atmospheres or urban and open air events.
