For Swings Sake are a Melbourne-based quintet performing instrumental music in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappellis Quintette du Hot Club de France.
Featuring the blistering violin of Dominic T Rado, whose sound has evolved from a childhood studying in Budapest leading to shows accompanying Djangos great-nephew Lulo Reinhardt, the influences of Hungarys street music is distinct in his improvisations.
On clarinet is Krakow native Adam Fedor, who has played in ensembles throughout Italy, Poland the UK and Russia, drawing on influences from jazz and folk traditions.
The group is underpinned by three guitarists who are aficionados of la pompe - Sydneys Dean Gallagher, Melbournes Stephen E. Stanisic and Italian ex-pat Giulio Segatti.
When asked why they play this music there is inevitably only one answer For Swings Sake!
