The Swing Solution

The Swing Solution was first formed in February 1990 under the name The Cupertino Swing Band. Its founder and first leader was Eldred Clark, who had previously started The Serenaders in the late 1960s. The idea was to provide a place for a few good musicians to get together and play the great music of the Swing Era. Eldred led the band until 1993, when Erv Cantwell took over the reins.

The band made a major change in direction in 1994 when Joe Maemone and the late Al Hager became its co-leaders. Joe and Al expanded the band's repertoir to include the music of some of the later big bands, like Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Count Basie and Brian Setzer. The band also began performing for a series of concerts and television shows. Its reputation began to spread and the band became in great demand for private parties and public occasions.
