We are dreamers, jazz dreamers – hence our name – Jazz Dreamers. The band is made up of musicians who create swing music tailored specifically to the tastes and needs of dancers. We have played at the biggest Polish festivals: Dragon Swing in Krakow, Retro Weekend in Warsaw, and Lindy Szau's Birthday Jam in Wrocław. We travel with our music across Europe and are open to exploring new destinations! We released an album called *Happy Feet*, which is available for free download on BandCamp and can also be streamed on music platforms. We play our own arrangements of music from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, based on artists such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Chick Webb, Benny Goodman, Jimmy Lunceford, and many others, along with original compositions. We are currently preparing to release a full-length album featuring the greatest hits of dance music from the swing era.
