DESCRIPTION:
Since 1998 Atlanta's best jazz musicians perform classic vintage Jazz, Swing, and choice current material. Understated - never overbearing. The elegant and distinct appeal of seasoned live professional musicians. Create the perfect atmosphere for your event - vibrant, fun, romantic and cool. No drum machines, No Midi Sequences, No computers - just REAL MUSICIANS playing REAL INSTRUMENTS. Listen to the demos and hear the difference.
Though newly listed, we're no stranger to Gigmasters - You'll see five star rated pianist Chris Corso featured under solo piano elsewhere on the site. Due to popular demand, the combo now has its very own listing.
There may be no such thing as a time machine but let us take you back in time musically to a less busy and quieter world, when music had melody, and tunes had swing. From Solo Piano, to the lush and soulful sound of Saxophone, Sultry Female or Swooning Male Sinatra-like vocals, Cool Trumpet, or the powerful big band - we have the perfect size combo to make your event perfect. Drawing on a wealth of the best classic memorable songs that never go out of style, as well as the great soul hits from Motown, Chess and Atlantic records, this experienced stylish combo will create the upscale mood your event deserve- From Rat Pack to cool Bossa Nova and Sophisticated Swing. Our songlist is exclusively catered to entertaining the audience, not ourselves. I believe when you compare our demos you'll hear the difference.
The band may members look familiar to you. They are regularly featured as the back up group for Motown legends The Temptations, and other national acts including The Cyrstals, Billy Joe Royal, Mitch Ryder, Johnny Mathis, and many more. Our incredible horn section features former sideman from the legendary Frank Sinatra and Henry Mancini big bands. Please visit our website for additional video and audio samples. We have several more videos available on you-tube as well. Thanks so much for visting and we look forward to playing for you soon! regards,
Chris

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
From my first contact with Chris, to the event, everything was professional. The event itself turned out incredibly well. A huge part of the success was the Gentlemen of Swing. The entire group was fantastic. I'm still receiving compliments about their talent, personable nature, from the old to the young, everyone loved them. I would recommend them for any type of event. They are true Professionals!

I give Chris Corso and his Gentlemen of Swing my highest praises. They were professional in every regard: planning, communication, dependability, and performance. They were uniformly charming and talented! I explained what I wanted, and Chris gave me perfection! We had many compliments of the music during our event. I'm so glad that I chose Chris and his band. Their presence brought magic to our party!

They were GREAT! We hired four of them for my daughter's wedding and were extremely pleased with their performance. Chris Corso seemed genuinely concerned with the wishes of the bride, groom & myself. They were punctual, very friendly and well dressed for the occasion. They happily played several requests from guests. My daughter & son-in-law LOVED them. I've had many guests comment on how good they were. They wanted to know where I found them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for entertainment. We could not have picked a better group for my daughters wedding.

This was the perfect wedding band. He helped keep things running smoothly and all we had to do was look at him and he would move on to the next "event" at the reception.
They sound wonderful and were very professional. I couldn't have imagined my wedding reception with any other music. It was exactly what we expected after hearing clips from their website. Chris Corso was very helpful and played only the type of music we requested. We had very special requests and they played them perfectly.
If you are looking for the music to set the mood at your reception, this is your band!
