“Jazz music is the power of now.” — Wynton Marsalis
This quote perfectly captures the spirit of Alexander’s Swing-Time Orchestra. Led by Alexander Kuttler, the ensemble brings fresh energy, precision, and emotional depth to the big band tradition – reaffirming that swing is not nostalgia, but a living, breathing art form. With the Swing Resurrection Tour, the orchestra presents a powerful new program that bridges eras and styles. Audiences will experience original compositions by Alexander Kuttler and lead alto saxophonist Gabriel Gstrein, alongside masterworks by Thad Jones, Duke Ellington, and Dizzy Gillespie. The result is a vibrant fusion of swing, soul, and bebop brilliance – rich in history, yet unmistakably of today.
Following acclaimed projects like Swinging Colossus and To Duke With Love, and a successful New York tour in October 2025, Alexander’s Swing-Time Orchestra continues to expand its international presence. Every performance radiates the excitement, virtuosity, and authenticity that define great jazz – performed by a new generation of musicians devoted to the groove and grace of the big band sound. With powerful arrangements, inspired solos, and an infectious sense of rhythm, Alexander’s Swing-Time Orchestra proves that the swing era isn’t over – it’s being reborn. Swing is alive. Swing is now. Swing is resurrected.
