Swingmatism
The Solomon Douglas Swingtet
A ten-piece jazz orchestra playing a range of styles from classic swing through post-swing era, to the openings of the modern jazz era—a lot of different music, really—but it’s all held together by the fact that every song swings.

Description
Solomon Douglas is a jazz pianist and bandleader, whose various bands have played at countless events in North America, Asia, and Australia in the past six years.
Solomon is presently on tour with the world-famous Glenn Miller Orchestra as their pianist.
The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is a ten-piece dance band whose repertoire is rooted in that of the Basie band (Shiny Stockings, Cherry Point, One OClock Jump, Jive at Five, Splanky, Shorty George) and that of the Ellington band (Mood Indigo, Johnny Come Lately, Take The A Train, Cottontail, C Jam Blues), with other big-band standards and classic jazz tunes thrown in as well.
A very good album! Very danceable, mixed tempos, and a variety of songs. I like it. I'm not just saying that, either. The band plays together very, very well. Frankie Manning, originator of the Lindy Hop
Good band. They play for dancers. Thats important. Dawn Hampton, dancer and musician
Swingmatism highlights Solomons expansive knowledge and passion as dancer, musician and arranger. I will be spinning this CD often! Jesse Miner, Swing DJ
Very impressive, very professional and tight. I am blown away by the work and by the musicians picked. It is nice to have a swing CD made by a dancer. Virginie Jensen, Lindy Hop instructor
This CD hits the mark for dancers. Swings hard, and hits you in the gut, especially when Solomon is on the keyboard. Get it, listen to it, dance to it!! Bill Borgida, Lindy Hop instructor and Swing DJ
Really fantastic. Vastly superior to 99% of big band stuff produced in the last 20 or 30 years. Good to dance to and great to listen to. David Mortensen, Swing DJ
Great tunes, great musicians, great arrangementsa very stimulating and enjoyable listening experience, and swinging! Larry OBrien, musical director of the Glenn Miller Orchestra
Ive danced to Junior Mance, Ray Bryant, Clark Terry, Barbara Morrison and more, and Solomons swingin group ranks right up there with the best of them for dancers. David Jacoby, Swing DJ
Not every day you find a band that can play traditional as well as modern jazz. The Solomon Douglas Swingtet has all those ingredients. And all I can say is that they are really solid. Chester Whitmore, jazz historian and choreographer
This band is one of the best swing bands in the country right now. We are so lucky to have someone who is truly recreating the side of jazz that makes us want to swing out within the true essence of Lindy Hop. Tonya Morris, Lindy Hop instructor and event planner
One of the best new recordings Ive heard in a while... I love dancing to these guys, they have an authentic style and great energy. Nina Gilkenson, Lindy Hop instructor
Swingmatism sounds great! Nicely recorded, clean, right, bright, swinging. In the words of Cheong Liu, right on! Alex Pangman, musician
