Welcome to celebrate with us the golden era of swing music! Enjoy the legendary tunes of Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra.

Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington is one of jazz music's all-time greats, composing thousands of scores during his 50-year-long career. Featuring trumpetist Martti Vesala as our soloist, this gig will give you a glimpse of Ellington’s virtuosity in mastering different styles and moods. You will also have a change to enjoy the legendary music of Frank Sinatra, served to you by our charismatic vocalist Tobias Andersin.
