Not content to do it like it is, the LMSO does it like it WAS !

This band is all about swing music. Not modern swing, but authentic swing, as it was exuberantly played and danced to at the height of the swing era. The library of the Ladd McIntosh Swing Orchestra is an eclectic mix of authentic swing classics--lovingly transcribed by Ladd and enthusiastically played by the band--and several fresh arrangements by Ladd on wonderful standards of the swing era. All of the music comes from a time in America when popular music was swing, and swing was king.
