About Swingmusic.org radio
SwingMusic.org radio is an independent, human-curated Big Band and Swing Radio station dedicated to preserving authentic music and history from the Swing Era.
The Broadcast
We transmit a continuous, 100% commercial-free, high-quality 192kbps stream. No waltz, no schmaltz, just high-octane gold from the vaults.
The Archive
Our library spans over 17,000 Big Band Era tracks. We meticulously hand-select 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s standards and rare deep cuts.
The Curation
Led by veteran jazz radio broadcasters with over 35 years of on-air experience, this isn't an algorithm—it’s a human-curated historical journey.
Our Mission
Swingmusic.org Radio is an independent, professionally curated radio station and digital archive. For over 25 years, our historical articles, artist biographies, and vintage magazine scans have been cited as authoritative references by The New York Times, Wikipedia, and Duke University.
We bridge the gap between the high-octane power of the Basie, Goodman, Barnet, Kenton, and Krupa big bands and the celestial vocals of Ella, Anita, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington. We prioritize the best available masters from original 78RPM records to ensure the sound remains authentic—pure, punchy, and mono, just as it was originally experienced before the stereo age.
