Jazzombies is pianist David Arthur Skinner's swing ensemble, with a lineup featuring some of the best swing musicians in Oslo. We've been playing for swing-dancers - as well as jazz clubs and festivals - since 2012.

The line-up varies a bit from gig to gig, but what you might call the "hard core" of the band is...

Jazzombies plays classic jazz tunes, by for example Benny Goodman, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, and George Gershwin, as well as originals by David Skinner. The size of the group varies from a quintet to an octet. We play both Lindy and Balboa swing-dance events, mainly in collaboration with Bårdar Swing Club, as well as jazz clubs, festivals, and private engagements. The band prides itself on great tunes, interplay, dancer-friendly rhythmic variation, and huge reserves of swinging energy!

Here's some highlights from swing dance events:
