AL SWAINGER
I've performed, recorded and taught all over the country and internationally for more than 25 years. I've been lucky (and determined) enough to have an incredibly diverse experience musically during that time.
While no stranger to performing at venues including Ronnie Scotts and the Royal Festival Hall, I've also performed at national and international jazz festivals including Love Supreme, the London Jazz Festival and Krakow Jazz Festival. I have been awarded fifth place in the British Jazz Awards three times and performed with a who's who of jazz nobility during my career.
As a solo artist I've been developing and accumulating skills as a composer, improviser, producer, digital artist and FX enthusiast for forty years. I love combining elements from improvised music, mainstream jazz, pop, rock, funk and latin to write my own music and as a method for teaching others.
