Best Western Swing
Best Western Swing (BWS) is five musicians unified in their love for western swing, cow bop, redneck jazz and other odd expressions of the jazzified dance music from the US southern states (i.e Bob Wills, Spade Cooley, Jimmy Bryant / Speedy West and Hank Garland).
In retrospect, this music could very well be called “instrumental electric americana”.
BWS was founded by guitarist Asle Roe, a Norwegian west coast native, as well as a 12 year resident of Houston, TX as a professional musician. He’s joined by 60% of the Norwegian balkan jazz band “Farmers Market”. Stian Carstensen plays the steel guitar and accordion, Finn Guttormsen bass and Jarle Vespestad drums. And last, but not the least, guitar player Staffan William-Olsson from the organ jazz band “The Real Thing”.
