LINDY EXCHANGE

The names of Jonathan Stout and Enric Peidro sure sound very familiar to the swing fans all over the world: Both are not only well-known musicians, highly respected players on their respective instruments, but also experienced bandleaders in their own right: Stout, based in California leads the Campus Five, one of the most in-demand bands at Lindy Hop and dance Festivals all over the world. From his headquarters in the east coast of Spain, Peidro also travels internationally very often, either as a soloist or bringing his high voltage swing combo, the “Swingtet” to all kind of audiences.
In late autumnn 2019 Stout, responding to Peidro’s invitation, came to Spain in between two Campus Five European gigs and joined Peidro’s band for a string of gigs on a two-week tour over Spain.
From their very first gig together, and never having met before, the sparks flew in between Stout and Peidro. The rapport and understanding they developed all over the tour, both in and out of the stage was really outstanding so they decided to keep working together under their own names with a quintet that often becomes a sextet.
Nearly six years after, with plenty of concerts and tours together, and having recorded three albums The Jonathan Stout – Enric Peidro continues offering their sophisticated swing to world wide audiences.
