Our History

Bedlam Swing began as a jam session between friends within the NYC jazz community, and quickly grew from there into the cohesive and creative ensemble it is today. Members include Ellie Goodman on violin, Brandon Vetrano on guitar,  Joshua Kaye on rhythm guitar, and James Robbins on bass.

Within the general spectrum of jazz, we play a wide variety of tunes ranging from unique takes on standards to original compositions. In relation to performance opportunities, we are mostly oriented towards weddings, festivals, private parties, restaurants and pubs. Bedlam swing is also open for studio sessions if desired. For booking, please reference the contact section.
