David Hermlin & his Swing Dance Orchestra | Swing is the Thing

David Hermlin's Swing Dance Orchestra plays the music of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and other stars of the swing era. For many years the ensemble has ranked among the world's leading orchestras of its kind.

David Hermlin carries the great swing tradition into the present with remarkable ease. As the son of renowned bandleader Andrej Hermlin, he grew up steeped in the authentic sound of the swing era - and has long since established himself as an artist in his own right with a distinctive voice. A drummer, vocalist and charismatic frontman, he performs to audiences worldwide and represents a new generation of classic big-band sound.

With the programme "Swing Is The Thing", David Hermlin and his Swing Dance Orchestra celebrate the enduring appeal of this music. Drawing on the great models of the 1930s and 40s, timeless classics ring out in faithful arrangements - full of energy, elegance and the lightness that makes you want to dance.

The orchestra combines the highest stylistic precision with youthful freshness and sheer joy of playing. The result is an evening that captivates seasoned swing fans and newcomers alike.
