Hailed “outstanding band” (Wall Street Journal) and “NYC darlings” (TimeOut), Svetlana's New York Collective is a group of determined jazz talents on a mission to uplift, energize…and spread the joy of what WPIX/11 News called “exuberant foot–stomping music that combines New York swing with pop singer/songwriter sensibilities.”
Svetlana and her band have released a chart topping Night at the Movies (debuted #1 on the US Billboard Traditional Jazz Charts / #2 on Jazz Album Charts) in 2019 and have headlined sold out release shows at Joe’s Pub (NYC), Blues Alley (Washington DC), Regatta Bar (Boston), Blue Note (NYC) and beyond.
2020 is seeing a new iteration of New York Collective “mobile unit”, a quartet-sized band with an emphasis on showcasing bandleader Svetlana’s artistry, exciting new original compositions and unique arrangements of material from her chart-topping record Night at the Movies — and beyond.
A performance by Svetlana and the New York Swing Collective is a colorful carnival of sound, seamlessly moving from sophisticated retrospection to a joyfully rowdy party — delivering "great sounding, great looking, highly entertaining unique tight show - with big sound and deeply personal sincere connection with the audience!" (Festival Presenter, USA).
