Band | About Sophisticated Swing

Sophisticated Swing is a big band consisting of nineteen musicians and vocalists from the Golden Horseshoe area who work hard to create an outstanding big band sound. We love to play and sing music that audiences want to hear.

Founded in 1999 by trombonist Carl Hamilton, Sophisticated Swing offers a new approach to musical entertainment. Here, finally, is a big band that plays more than the traditional swing music of the 40's and 50's. We also have a large repertoire of the best tunes of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and to the present.

We would be delighted to perform at your dance, concert, wedding or any other event where you would like to feature our big band sound. We will work with you to design a program that matches the musical tastes of those attending your event.
