Ward Swingle


A Summa Cum Laude graduate of the Cincinnati Conservatory, he took the scat singing idea and applied it to the works of Bach, creating The Swingle Singers, winning five Grammys in their original incarnation. He retired from the group in 1984, but still serves as their musical advisor. Most of his time now is spent giving seminars, guest conducting and building his publishing company, Swingle Music.

Not ALL of the arrangements in this category have been performed by the Swingle Singers, but many of them have. Where there is a recording of a piece, it will be listed as a "Related Product" underneath its image.
