     The Swingtime Quartet engages audiences with an extensive repertoire of the best-loved songs of the big band era, including ballads, blues, waltzes, and Latin music as well as swing. This dynamic and expressive ensemble includes John Root (vocals, saxophone, clarinet, and flute), Jim Argiro (keyboards), Paul Brown (acoustic bass), and Artie Dixon (drums).

     The Swingtime Quartet performs at summer concert series, schools, festivals, and special occasions throughout New England.


___“Your performance was pure magic...music as it was meant to be played! We enjoyed the full, rich sound, the harmonies, the variety, and the energy of a most wonderful ensemble. You brought smiles to our faces...we sang, we swayed, we danced on the air...”
___- Gini Traub, Co-Chairperson, Friends of the Holyoke Range Summit Concert Series. South Hadley, MA

___“'Dancing with the Duke', a rollicking swing dance party produced by Swingtime in the ACTV studio, has charmed viewers of our public access television station in several repeat broadcasts over the years. We selected excerpts of this program for use as theme music by the station.”
___- Myra Lenburg, Executive Director, Amherst Community Television
