Please read on for raves and reviews:

'A  lively band that captures the style and heart of 30's and 40's jazz. Inspired by the Teddy Wilson recordings of the mid-1930's, Sara's piano and lively vocals on familiar tunes make it hard not to sing along!' 

'Just as the Paramount's architecture and interior space exemplify the visual character of the Art Deco Era, so does your music create that era in sound. Standing there, in that beautiful building, hearing your music, one could truly feel transported back in time. all of us, and all of our members and guests that night, are so grateful to you for taking the time and effort to prepare and perform your music and vocal arrangements for us, for this special occasion. We could not think of a better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary!' Cherie Oliver, President, Art Deco Society of California

'You were swell, you were fab, you were great!...I love the way you sing...A number of friends commented to me how much you added to the ambience...I am truly a fan.'
A happy bridal client

Sara & Swingtime were great.  Sara was easy to work with.  The band showed up on time, ready to go, played the full time they had agreed to play, and were very professional.  They played great music.  They sounded as good or better than their samples on the Web.  Sara's singing and playing were great, and the band could really swing!  We were very happy with their services.

A wonderful performance! Great entertainment for our Anniversary Party. Everyone had a great time! Hope to use you again in the future.
