The Solomon Douglas Swingtet - Swingmatism (2006)

Solomon Douglas is a jazz pianist and bandleader, whose various bands have played at countless events in North America, Asia, and Australia in the past nine years. Solomon toured with the world-famous Glenn Miller Orchestra as their pianist in 2006, and is now working as a full-time musician, bandleader, and dance instructor.

The Solomon Douglas Swingtet is a ten-piece dance band whose repertoire is rooted in that of the Basie band (Shiny Stockings, Cherry Point, One O’Clock Jump, Jive at Five, Splanky, Shorty George) and that of the Ellington band (Mood Indigo, Johnny Come Lately, Take The “A” Train, Cottontail, “C” Jam Blues), with other big-band standards and classic jazz tunes thrown in as well.
