The L.A. Swing Barons are a Los Angeles based big band paying tribute to the greatest bands of the swing era. We specialize in recreating the famous Kansas City sound of the late 30's and 40's, such as the great Count Basie Orchestra. This style of music was famous for being the very best dance music out there in a time when everyone who was anyone knew how to dance. We also feature music from many other great swing era bands such as the Duke Ellington songbook, Andy Kirk with Mary Lou Williams, and all the standard big band era favorites. Check out our music and you'll find that you can't help but want to get on your feet and move to that swingin' beat.
Furthermore, many of the members of the band, in addition to being professional musicians, are also professional swing dancers. This means that we know intimately what it takes to be a fantastic dance band. As a further perk to this, booking the Swing Barons for your event means that you can get a complimentary dance lesson for your guests as part of the the deal.
Count Basie, Andy Kirk, Jay McShann, Harlan Leonard, Bennie Moten, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Lunceford, Cab Calloway, Chick Webb, etc.
