Regent Swing is a swinging jazz ensemble based on a traditional line-up of Saxophone, Piano, Double Bass and Drums with optional female and male vocals. They pride themselves in bringing the right touch and ambiance to your special occasion. All vocalists and instrumentalists are full time professional jazz musicians and work for some of the top recording sessions, shows and entertainment agencies in London and across Europe. The band is co-led by American saxophonist/clarinettist Frank Griffith (who has been resident in London since 1996) and double bassist Nick Pugh.
Regent Swing specialize in being able to adapt their music to different situations and can offer both quiet, smooth, elegant jazz for dining, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and corporate events in addition to high-energy, driving swing for parties and dancing.
