DADA, Fola / SWR BIG BAND: As We Speak

The SWR Big Band and Fola Dada have been successful collaborators for many years and with their new studio album As We Speak, they broaden their swing repertoire to include music of the 1960s; there are also swing classics such as You Go to My Head. All of which enables the multi-GRAMMY-nominated SWR Big Band to confirm their reputation as a fantastic swing formation that manages to underline new aspects of traditional pieces again and again.
