THE BAND

INSTRUMENTS


In December 2011, the Jazz and Swing big band Kind of Dukish was formed.
They are renowned on the Berlin scene for their commitment to preserving and authentically presenting 1920s, 30s & 40s jazz and swing music. All the band members are well-known professional musicians from the Berlin jazz scene and play mostly on original instruments from the swing era.

The band's repertoire includes arrangements of Duke Ellington, Jimmie Lunceford, Benny Carter, Chick Webb, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Charlie Barnet, Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong,  Bennie Moten, Mc Kinney's Cotton Pickers, Larry Clinton, John Kirby, Raymond Scott, Django Reinhard, Skeets Tolbert, Urbie Green, Red Nichols and others.

In similarity to the great dance orchestras of the time period, Kind of Dukish works closely with local swing dancers to help them create a corresponding repertoire.

Within a short period of time the band's reputation has spread quickly among the swing dancing scene. Kind of Dukish has been invited to play for various international events including:
