KING OF SWING ORCHESTRA · AMERICAN SWING NIGHT – im weltberühmten Benny-Goodman-Sound

Feet start tapping, fingers start snapping — and suddenly everything is in motion…

Experience the birth of a new musical era in a thrilling concert with the 17-piece KING OF SWING ORCHESTRA and its soloists — an era that conquered the world in the 1930s with the “King of Swing,” Benny Goodman, and swept hundreds of thousands of people into excitement and joy. Even today, this music still stands for joie de vivre, style, and freedom.

At the heart of the evening is the world-famous Benny Goodman sound, featuring master clarinetist ENGELBERT WROBEL, one of Europe’s most distinguished specialists in classic hot swing.

With her soulful voice, soloist ANNA LARSEN brings the great vocal tradition of the Swing Era back to life.

The orchestra is led by bandleader and drummer PETER FLEISCHHAUER, whose energetic playing shapes the distinctive character of the ensemble.

Beloved highlights of the Swing Era such as SING SING SING · BEI MIR BIST DU SCHÖN · IN THE MOOD come alive in the sound of the legendary “King of Swing” in full orchestral splendor — presented almost entirely acoustically and with passionate joy of performance.

The daughter of the “King of Swing,” Benny Goodman, paid tribute to the KING OF SWING ORCHESTRA with the words:
“Thank you for the very fine recording of the music of my father, Benny Goodman... I am glad you keep his music alive.” (Rachel Goodman Edelson)

THE SPIRIT OF SWING IS ALIVE!
