From Electric Grooves to Acoustic Jazz...

Great music transcends genres. Ten Cat Swing is a Chicago-based jazz and jazz-adjacent quartet that fuses the energy of swing, the sophistication of standards, and the soul of modern favorites. Reimagined through our signature style, we blend traditional musicianship with high-energy versatility. From classic acoustic jazz sets to contemporary, electric-driven grooves, we deliver an unforgettable performance tailored to your audience.

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 a vibe that is inviting and personalized for every audience.
