Swing Noir

Born: January 15, 1982

Swing Noir takes you back to the early 20th century, with music from the 1930's, through to the 1960's. The trio perform a mixture of swing, jazz and early popular music, with a strong gypsy jazz influence. They combine the acoustic sounds of Jim Knowler on guitar/vocals, Serena Sykes on vocals/double bass and Jonny Hepbir on guitar, bringing a smooth sound, rich with vocal harmonies. With music from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, to Mel Torme, Judy Garland and Doris Day, and with influences from musicians such as Django Reinhardt, Ray Brown and Barney Kessel, Swing Noir are a band to watch out for.
