Swing 440, formerly 440 Gypsy Jazz, brings the spirited tradition of Gypsy jazz to life, drawing inspiration from the legendary Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their vibrant sound—rooted in the swing era of the 1930s and & 40s—is infused with a contemporary flair that’s sure to get toes tapping and audiences dancing.
Led by violinist and arranger Tomoko Iwamoto, Swing 440 offers fresh takes on classic Gypsy jazz tunes, adding inventive twists that keep the tradition alive and evolving. The band’s distinctive instrumentation—featuring Tomoko on violin and John Clark on clarinet, Jack Soref on guitar, and Gregory Toro on Bass– creates a rich, nuanced blend that’s intricate and accessible. Tomoko also contributes original compositions that feel
like timeless standards, seamlessly woven into the set.
Since forming in 2013, Swing 440 has been a fixture in the New England music scene, performing at concert series and festivals such as Newtonville Jazz Festival, 19 Carter Summer Series, Dot Jazz Series, WICN 90.5 FM at Mechanics Hall, and more.
Swing 440 has released two highly regarded albums: Why Why (2017) and Yo-ki Swing (2019), both showcasing their dynamic energy, musicianship, and love for the genre.
