DESCRIPTION:
The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is a 10-piece jazz band that specializes in a wide range of styles of swinging big-band music, from the late 1920s through the early 1960s.

We are highly in demand at dance events, and have headlined major Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Blues Dance weekend events all over the United States and Canada since 2002.

We appear regularly at the Century Ballroom (Seattle) and at the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom (DC).

Although we listed a single city as our "location", we actually perform all over North America without geographical bias.
