The Dutch Swing College Band, the leading and best-known jazz orchestra in The Netherlands, still guarantees professional performances of traditional jazz music at a world-class level. The swinging orchestra, founded on May 5th, 1945, is highly regarded with its exemplary function as the calling card of Dutch Jazz and has released more than 150 albums (a cautious calculation…).

The line-up has of course changed several times over the years, making the Dutch Swing College Band more than just an ordinary group of musicians. The word ‘institute’ is more applicable here. With refreshing arrangements in the unmistakable Dutch Swing College sound, played by a rejuvenated orchestra, the Dutch Swing College Band is energetic today like never before.

The Dutch Swing College Band is widely regarded as the most important representative of European Classic Jazz. Since it was founded, the band has distinguished itself on a number of fronts: the permanent line-up always consists of excellent and dedicated musicians so that quality is guaranteed. The music sounds organic, the band explores the musical boundaries in a virtuoso way with respect for the style of Classic Jazz. In addition to the individual musical freedom of the players, which comes into its own in improvisations, it is the musical cohesion and interaction between the musicians that are so characteristic of DSCB’s group sound. https://cityproms.nl/en/portfolio-posts/dutch-swing-college-band/

The Dutch Swing College Band comprises of: Keesjan Hoogeboom – trumpet; David Lukács – clarinet, saxophone; Bert Boeren – trombone; Peter Kanters – banjo, guitar; Adrie Braat – double bass; Anton Burger – percussion

Includes the A-sides of all 16 S&G singles to make the Billboard charts, as well as three B-sides and one album cut. The only number lost from the Greatest Hits set is "Kathy's Song." ~Richie Unterberger

Kristin Korb is both a swinging bassist and an occasional jazz singer. Originally she was a guitarist and singer who loved country music; Barbara Mandrell was one of her early musical heroes. Korb also studied piano and violin. She attended the Soundsation Jazz Camp one summer and came away interested in performing jazz. She switched from guitar to electric bass to join a vocal jazz group in the seventh grade, taking up the acoustic bass in 11th grade. Korb earned a degree in Music Education at Eastern Montana College in 1992 and spent the next two years working on her masters in Classical Bass Performance at the University of California at San Diego. She took lessons from Bertram Turetzky who inspired her to sing and play bass at the same time. In 1994, she met and started studying with Ray Brown, who recorded her debut the following year, Introducing Kristin Korb with the Ray Brown Trio. Where that CD has Korb just singing, her other recordings, for Grace Bass and Double K, feature her as both a vocalist and a bassist. Korb taught jazz history, bass, and the vocal jazz ensemble at Grossmont Community College during 1996-2000, and was the Director of Jazz Studies at Central Washington University during 2000-2002. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2002, she has performed at jazz parties, occasionally toured, and led her own trio.
