Ten Cat Swing believes that great music transcends genres. As a Chicago-based acoustic jazz quartet, we bring together the energy of swing, the sophistication of jazz standards, and the soul of modern favorites, all reimagined through our signature acoustic style. Born from a shared love of swing and acoustic artistry, Ten Cat Swing is a premier Chicago-based acoustic quartet that blends the timeless elegance of jazz with modern influences.

Originally inspired by the spirit of gypsy jazz, our musicians bring a fresh yet nostalgic energy to standards and contemporary favorites. Our sound is both timeless and fresh, blending the best of the past with the vibrancy of today. From the rich melodies of the Great American Songbook to unexpected takes on more recent tunes, our performances are dynamic, engaging, and uniquely our own. Whether you're a fan of classic swing, sultry ballads, or toe-tapping rhythms, our music creates an vibe that is inviting and personalized for every audience.
