The Susan Comstock Swingtet was formed in 2003 around its members’ collective love for the late 1940’s classic pre-bebop jazz and blues styles. It is the quintessential jazz, blues, jump, jive and swing combo. Comprised of four consummate musicians who draw from rich and eclectic backgrounds in the arts, the Susan Comstock Swingtet synthesizes a broad range of musical styles. It explores classic vocal jazz, blues, swing and Latin styles in a fresh innovative way. Whether finessing a jazz ballad, belting out a blues standard or caressing the sultry lyrics of songs in multiple languages, Susan is a solid sender who always connects deeply on a visceral level with herself, her band, and her audience. Susan’s vibrant jazz fiddle compliments her strong, expressive voice. Collaborating with Susan on vocals and guitar is John Knutson. Other band members include Dalton Dillingham, III on bass and Paul Distel on drums.

"Susan Comstock is a marvelously talented musical artist whose expressive voice and beautiful presence is matched only by her talent as a violinist. As the star of the Susan Comstock Swingtet, she weaves a seamless collaboration with master guitarist John Knutson to offer the finest renditions of jazz and swing standards and songs of love. This is an ensemble not to be missed!" Joan Marler - French Garden Restuarant and Bistro Bar, Sebastopol, CA
