Kim Cypher and Her Swing Band comes to us from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England. Kim has a quirky style and reputation for classy music which showcases her abilities as a saxophonist, vocalist, clarinetist and composer.
Cypher describes the unique story behind the inspiration for her new song "All For You":
"The song is inspired by my late mum and was composed as part of my recent larger project ‘For Mum’ which has been raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity. My 'For Mum' project has so far included a sell-out show in London on 2nd March with myself and my tour band performing alongside Jazz GIANT Ray Gelato. The project also includes an animated video in conjunction with the song 'All For You' created together with artist Martyna Sabadasz. The video reflects how I live my life without my mum but with my mum very much by my side inspiring everything I do. The video will be appreciated by anyone inspired by a loved one." (Video of the song is provided below.)
"All For You" has a quirky vibe with a great modern Big Band/Swing feel to it and features top UK jazz musicians: Tom Berge (Piano), Ian Bateman (Trombone), Jonny Bruce (Trumpet), Chris Santo Cobbson (Guitar), Raph Mizraki (Double Bass), Mike Cypher (Drums) and features Kim Cypher (Vocals, Tenor Saxophone and Clarinet).
Kim also let Swing City Radio know that: "There has been much interest and support in my project with The Brain Tumour Charity. People have been really getting behind me and there's been much interest from local Radio and TV. So far the project has raised £2500!"
