Cascade Swing Orchestra

Formed by bandleader and arranger Andrew Fox in 2022, the 15-piece Cascade Swing Orchestra strives to perform the music of the swing era in an accurate, respectful, and historically informed way. The band's library includes transcriptions of classic arrangements from between 1928 and 1948 (some of them rarely heard since the swing era), as well as new arrangements and compositions in period style. Embracing the complex arrangements, the spontaneity of collective improvisation, and in many cases the authentic instruments of the period, the CSO hopes to present a unique interpretation of this musical period.
