Swing from Paris are a quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), inspired by the great swing bands of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s such as Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the Hot Club of France.

Their Parisian-flavoured jazz and gypsy swing has been delighting audiences for over 15 years: from major jazz festivals including Brecon, Cheltenham and the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois sur Seine, to being seen on the BBC’s Hairy Bikers and performing at the opening of the award-winning Gloucester Services.

Their latest recording together is I Love Paris (2024), available digitally and on CD. Expect stylish jazz and vintage swing.

Danish-born Brighton resident Sara Oschlag has quietly established herself as is one of the UK’s premier jazz vocalists. She is a regular performer at leading jazz festivals and venues, including Ronnie Scott’s, Love Supreme Festival, Jazz at The Lincoln Center and Pizza Express, has sung at events all across Europe, and has built up a YouTube presence of over 12 million views. Equally at home in the role of band leader as she is as a much in-demand special guest, she has recently appeared as featured vocalist with the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, Pete Long’s Echoes of Ellington Big Band and Arnie Somogyi’s “Scenes in The City Band”. She headlined the Brighton Jazz Festival in 2023, duetting with US trumpet/vocal star Benny Benack III.

In 2024 Sara produced a new album, ‘YEAH!’. Released to widespread critical acclaim, it was chosen as ‘Album Of The Week’ on Danish Radio’s dedicated jazz channel, P8.
