Swing and big band music brings together some of the most recognizable melodies of the American popular songbook. From the unmistakable drive of In the Mood and Chattanooga Choo Choo to relaxed swing standards such as Fly Me to the Moon, L-O-V-E and The Way You Look Tonight, this music can create an atmosphere that is lively, sophisticated and immediately familiar.

Roy’s Swing & Big Band repertoire includes music associated with the great dance bands, jazz standards and popular songs that lend themselves naturally to a swing treatment. It works equally well as featured entertainment or as stylish background music for cocktail hours, receptions, dinners, wineries and private celebrations.

The digital accordion is particularly well suited to this repertoire. In addition to traditional accordion sounds, Roy can incorporate piano, saxophone, clarinet, brass, bass and other instrumental voices to give these familiar arrangements some of the character and energy of a larger ensemble.
