the Swing Syndicate

Swing Syndicate is a 16 piece Big Band formed by Travis Cook and Mike Wiese.  Both seasoned veterans of the Metro-Detroit jazz scene, Cook and Wiese wanted to play in a band that performed with power and style to make an indelible impression on the Detroit jazz scene.  The resulting group is a hard-hitting combination of Metro-Detroit’s finest talent performing traditional Big Band Jazz at it’s finest!

After a nearly sold-out debut, the Swing Syndicate Big Band is bringing their high-energy, hard-swinging sound back to the legendary Cliff Bell’s.  This powerhouse 17-piece band delivers traditional Big Band jazz with flair and virtuosity, showcasing the finest talent that Metro Detroit has to offer.  Expect a mix of jazz standards, popular music crossovers, and new musical offerings that are sure to set your toes tapping.   Step into the art-deco elegance of Cliff Bell’s at 2030 Park Ave, where live jazz, delicious food, and crafted cocktails come together in a Fred Astaire film–worthy ambiance.
