The Swing Tenors, a jazz quintet along the lines of the North American combos of the '50s and '60s, aims to add in its own way to this tradition by enthusiastically recreating a jazz formula that should never disappear from our musical horizons. The group has chosen a collection of tunes for the occasion that they play regularly in concert, made up of blues, their own pieces and great standards in which, above all, an essential aspect shines through: the SWING!
