Nomad Swing is a group of musicians from Flanders who have a passion for music from the twenties to the fifties. Inspired by American and European swing music and musicians from that period, they present a varied and colorful program with an authentic sound, arranged in their special and personal way.
Their jazz repertoire ranges from the ‘innocent’ and light hearted jazz of the 1920’s, reminiscent of the music of Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael and Bing Crosby, to the more sophisticated style of the Swing Era, evoking the music of Django Reinhardt, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. True to their roots, Nomad Swing also brings a number of European song stylings from the 1930’s to the 1960’s to their performances. Founded by Seppe Van Tilborg (solo guitar) and Ine Smet (vocals), the group has grown little by little to the current setting. In 2010 they also began to work in partnership with The Dipsy Doodles, a dance and performance group that specializes in period jazz dance styles such as the Lindy Hop and the Charleston and jazzroots.
