The Survivors Swing Band generates energy and excitement everywhere it performs.  We are a six-piece professional jazz group, based in Connecticut, that plays the classic melodies from a time gone by--hot Dixieland tunes and soothing ballads of the Swing Era--plus many of the wonderful melodies from the two decades that followed.  The "Big Bands" played this music with a high degree of rigid orchestration.  The Survivors render it with a greater tilt towards improvisation, thus giving each pass at a tune somewhat of a new flavor while still keeping true to the original melodies.  Your memories of the "good old good ones" that we play will be readily revived!  With trumpet, reeds, piano, guitar / banjo, string bass, and drums, let us entertain you!
