SheBop Swing
Jazz Octet
A life-long resident of the Washington DC area, Cyndy Elliott works as a freelance bassist, performing many different styles of music in big bands, small combos, orchestras, and chamber ensembles. She currently performs with Hot Club of DC, and Tango Reo, leads her own Trio Speevy and is co-leader of the jazz octet Swingtopia, which performs throughout the mid-Atlantic region and in Florida. She has played at most of the major venues in DC, including Blues Alley, Bethesda Blues and Jazz, Bohemian Caverns, and Twins Jazz, as well as the Reach, Terrace Theatre, Millennium Stage, and Concert Hall at the Kennedy Center.
Cyndy spent a number of years on the road, touring with the big band show “In the Mood” and the Broadway musicals “Meet Me in Saint Louis” and "Sister Act”. Cruise ship work took her to the Caribbean, Central America, and all over Europe. She toured Australia and New Zealand with a jazz trombone ensemble and has performed classical music in China and the Netherlands.
Cyndy’s latest project, SheBop Swing, is an instrumental octet that features some of the best jazz musicians in the DC and Baltimore areas who also happen to be women. Trumpet, trombone, 3 saxophonists, piano, bass, and drums combine to recreate the lush harmonies and swinging grooves of the big band era, with music by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, and more.
