Close your eyes and you'll hear trombones, trumpets, the tuba and double bass. But don't trust your ears! What you are actually hearing is Java Five. These five well-dressed, young gentlemen celebrate the legendary vocal swing of the 1930s and '40s with dedication and fleet-footed charm.

Three singers accompanied by a cheerful guitarist and a singing bass are bringing swing to life with interpretations that range from the aesthetic to cabaret, painting a whimsical smile on many faces.

Over the past few years, this jazz quintet's clever imitations of brass instruments, effortlessly brilliant vocalizations, crispy string playing and amusing comments have ensured that their concerts have been occasions for celebration all over the world. The quintet gets its energy from the timeless spirit of swing music, enjoying it to the full, and it is consequently a sheer pleasure to listen to - and not just for fans of swing.
