Born and bred in New Orleans, Sabertooth Swing carries a rich musical tradition of swing jazz with old roots and exciting new ramifications. Tracing its origins within the local swing dance community, their music embraces a foot-taping energy supported by serious musicianship and varied influences. Sabertooth Swing excels at bringing a fun experience and enhancing it with musical overtones that enrich their sound with beautiful jazz idioms that can be either be a source of exciting dancing or serious listening.

Sabertooth Swing follows the footpath left by the originators of jazz such as Buddy Bolden who, in his most famous piece, was asking to “open up the windows and let the foul air out”, presumably coming from late nights of dancing in small hot New Orleans summer rooms.
