Swing Chronicles is a jazz band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Fourteen pieces, and every one of them a working Brisbane session jazz musician. Swing Chronicles play the twentieth century songbook properly, drawing on Gershwin, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Nat King Cole, Ray Noble and Harold Arlen. Musical direction comes from arranger and composer Rod Bridges, who has performed across the United States, Japan, Europe and the Caribbean. A big band this size is a visual event as much as a musical one, which is why it tends to land at corporate functions and larger private celebrations rather than small rooms.
