Home > Swing Revival

The Swing Revival was cultural phenomenon of the 1990s and early 2000s which featured renewed popular interest in music in the style of the Swing period of the 1930s and 1940s. Many of the popular groups of the movement were instrumented in the Big Band style. These include the Brian Setzer Orchestra and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The style of Louis Prima was especially influential on the style of the Swing Revival. The Brian Setzer Orchestra recorded covers of several of Prima's pieces.

Bands of the period tended more toward the sweet style (highly rehearsed) than the hot style (more improvisational, with focus on instrumentalist virtuosity).

Many consider the Swing Revival to now be dead. It is at least on the decline. Several performers are still recording and touring for a cache of fans who are genuinely interested in the music, though the genre is out of the national spotlight.
