The Swing Tones

Modern and vocal jazz hits explode on the stage with harmonic singers and big brass band at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill Jazz. Filling houses all over Southern California, LA Radio Host Aaron Jacobs and The Swing Tones bring their signature 13-member vocal jazz big band to Bel Aire this May 29th. The Swing Tones are a musical powerhouse, celebrated for their authentic interpretations of classic 1920s and 1930s sound infused with current day chart topping hits. Their toe-tapping rhythms, infectious melodies, and a brass section that packs a punch has garnered The Swing Tones a dedicated following of music enthusiasts and history buffs alike. “The Swing Tones are the ultimate big band experience accessible for all generations, and Vibrato is the perfect venue for our sound,” said Aaron Jacobs, executive producer and Lead Vocalist. “Big band brass is one thing; marrying it with our vocal jazz singers … our symphonic sound becomes electrifying.” More about the Swing Tones: Aaron Jacobs, host of the Swing Scene on 90.7FM’s KPFK, founded The Swing Tones 5 years ago. Having spent 2 decades producing vintage sounds, Aaron took a turn modernizing these classic sounds while adding nostalgia to current pop songs in reverse. The Swing Tones are known for their dynamic stage presence and pitch-perfect 7-singer harmonies, they give homage to the tight vocal harmonic sounds of the 1930s and 40s, reimagined into modern times with many swingafied twists. “If the Andrews Sisters married The Manhattan Transfer,” said Aaron, “and birthed Postmodern Jukebox with a touch of Pentatonix, you would have The Swing Tones.”
