Jazz Cats: Swingin' A+ Jazz Musicians with understanding and knowledge of vintage jazz styles. Swingin' SophistiCats began during the resurgence of swing; first retro swing as it grew in S.Cal and quickly spread worldwide. After a few short years, dancers were 'tired' of the retro swing rock style and wanted original swing music of the great era. Swingin' SophistiCats accommodated and lead the surge in S.Cal. A few years later, Hot Jazz of the 1920's was added and today both styles are booming worldwide. Jack's Six Shooter and smaller combos have lead the surge including popular vintage Jazz Age modern vocalists including the world renown Barbara Morrison, a blues & swing artist in the style of Ella Fitzgerald and numerous other popular L.A. vocalists.
