The quartet SWING WING
is “The Band within The Band“
The small version of the Allotria Jazz Band.
Since its founding in the late 1990‘s the group, in its original line-up of Rainer Sander (cl), Thilo Wagner (p), Peter Cischeck (b) und Gregor Beck (dms), has been playing in the traditional swing style of the 1940’s and 1950’s.
In Rainer Sander, you can clearly recognize the influences of the great jazz-clarinettists Benny Goodman and Michael “Peanuts“ Hucko, and perhaps also a little Sidney Bechet. Yet Rainer’s musical expression and sound on his instrument remain unmistakeably his own.
