You can look forward to a concert that will take you on a journey through the era of swing from yesterday to today. The formation was founded in spring 2022, having emerged from the well-known Sonny and Friends swing formation. The starting point is the preference for playing swing/jazz. All the musicians have known each other for many years, have played in well-known legendary East German rock formations and can look back on four decades of artistic and musical careers. These include Stern Meißen, Lift, the group Transit, but also various well-known big bands and vocal formations. The music academies were a melting pot for the later collaboration. The arrangements are designed in such a way that it is difficult to sit still. Ines' voice and skillful entertainment provide the right setting. The repertoire is extensive. It includes well-known American standards, evergreens, swing, but also groovy songs by German interpreters, all with the band's own typical touch.
