Bands

THE SWING SHOUTERS

Swing Shouters is, above all, a quintet with an overflowing and communicative energy that captures and arranges the great Jazz and Swing standards of the 30’s and 40’s. Ideal for dancing and for good reason, the group was formed around the dance association “Swing & Shout”. After more than 200 concerts in France and Europe, the quintet decided to develop new formulas ranging from the small band (septet) to the big band, through the rhythm and blues of the 50 ‘and the sound of New Orleans.

CAROLINA REAPERS

Hi-energy jazz octet based in Montpellier, specialized on songs and instrumental tunes from the swing era (1930-1950).Every performance is a unique blend of authenticity, spontaneity and craziness.

Carolina Reapers Swing is born when young musicians crazy about jazz from the 1930s and 1940s met swing dancing. Out of this synergy came a band who brings back jazz standards and rare pieces that have bound together swing music and swing dance since the early days of Lindy Hop.

POL PRATS QUINTET

Pol Prats is one of the most recognized jazz musicians in Catalonia, and during the last years he has developed different swing formations for lindy hoppers, in quartet format, quintet, octet and even more extensive formations. He has been part of the Swim Out Costa Brava family from the beginning, even making a battle of bands along with Big Swing Shot in the 2017 edition.

This year he will come in quintet format, with other top musicians like Juli Aymí, and they will give us their best version during the concert in the Nautical Club, and they will also close the festival in the Pool Party on Sunday.
