Swing Shift plays American swing -- songs from the 1920s through the present day. Led by Richard Southwick on vocals and guitar, the trio features Nathan Ladyzhensky on violin and melodica, and Olivier Zyngier on double bass. While the focus is on songs from the Great American Songbook, the band also likes to mix in latin rhythms, western swing, and modern pop tunes reimagined in a swing style.
