The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg is currently one of the world's most famous new concert venues with phenomenal acoustics. A collection of the most popular big band hits, live from the Elbphilharmonie.

Will the Elbphilharmonie live up to its promises? Is this the place to roll out the red carpet for swing-era greats, such as Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie or George Gershwin? And will the incomparable sound of the SWR Big Band really come across authentically when we play Ella Fitzgerald’s songs there? The answer is: YES! You immediately experience the effect of the hall's extraordinary architecture that both charges and relaxes the listener at the same time. Despite its awesome size, the Elbphilharmonie gives one the feeling that it is by no means an end in itself, but there to serve only one purpose: to experience (swing) music first-hand.
