Album Description

SWING THAT MUSIC is Down for the Count's 2019 album celebrating the sounds of the Swing Era - a collection of songs we have chosen from the bands led by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Harry James plus one song each from the Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, and our own original arrangement of Louis Armstrong's "Swing That Music".
This album was recorded in a single day at Cold Stores Studios, Kent and features songs from our 2019-2020 touring show of the same name.
