Big Band and Swing Radio station Swingmusic.org is your premier destination to experience the heartbeat of the Swing Era. We broadcast a finely architectured sequencing process where we draw on the expertise of over 100 years of combined terrestrial radio broadcast experience from true radio professionals. This isn’t a random shuffle; it is a professional online broadcast led by veteran jazz radio broadcasters. Our chief music and sequencing curator comes with over 35 years of continuous on-air, curation and jazz programming experience. His resume includes successful long-term stints with five different terrestrial big band and jazz radio stations.

To obtain our selections we dig deep down, past the fluff, into the vaults of an original, extensive pool and library of over 17,000 Big Band Era tracks. From this massive library, we hand-select over 1,800 tracks of 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s Big Band Era Standards and deep cuts for a continuous, commercial free, rotation of gold that never gets old.

Dance Floors, Jazz Clubs & Carnegie Hall

At Swingmusic.org Radio we play big band jazz that shook legendary dance floors like the Savoy Ballroom. Additionally, you’ll feel the grit and groove of the blues, as if it were wafting in from a back-alley juke joint alongside the sophisticated Swing Era Jazz of New York’s Cafe Society and Onyx Club.

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 and Anita, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington. From the Duke and the Dorseys to Sinatra and Shaw – this is 100% vintage big band, swing, boogie, jump blues, and bop radio. Since we don’t do sweet, we’re mostly upbeat, and always reet.

Big Band and Swing Radio In Hi-Fi

To ensure an out-of-this-world listening experience, our internet radio player streams to you at a high-quality 192 kbps bitrate. Thusly, we have attempted to capture every trumpet blast and bass pluck with as much clarity as possible. Our source material is meticulously selected from digital transfers of original 78RPM mono records. We prioritize the best available masters to ensure the sound remains authentic—pure, punchy, and mono, just as it was originally experienced before the stereo age.

Whether you tune in via our Live365 pop-out player (with full album art) or through streaming radio directories like Streema, MyTuner, Tune-In or Radio.net, we emanate a 100% commercial-free transmission from our studio control facilities to wherever your post is on the planet.

Accordingly, we go to great lengths to make this the perfect environment for dancers, collectors, historians, and casual listeners alike.
