With over 500 arrangements, we can’t begin to list everything here. Just know that we span the generations and styles and will work with you to put together the right play list for your occasion.

We are in the process now of selecting and uploading sample tunes in each category below. These will not be fine-tuned recording studio products; they will be recordings made “live” during actual performances of Metro Retro at one or more of the gigs shown on our photos page.

Standards

Swing dance to tunes like Fly Me to the Moon, Don’t Get Around Much Any More, Killer Joe, Satin Doll, Sweet Georgia Brown, and  Jump, Jive, and Wail

Ballads

Try your slow dance routine on a dimly lit dance floor to such tunes as The Very Thought Of You, Summertime, Misty, Georgia on My Mind, Fever, and I’ll Be Seeing You

Latin

Bossa Nova, Tango, Cha Cha? Listen and dance to our arrangements of tunes like Desafinado, Corcovado, and the Girl from Ipanema

Blues

Metro Retro knows Blues, from the understated Blues in the Night and Temptation to Kelly’s Blues and Night Train to Kansas City

Modern Jazz

Maybe not danceable, but certainly joyful to listen to are tunes like Tones for Joan’s Bones, Birdland, Lazy Bird, and Red Clay

Pop/Funk

We play society arrangements (i.e., great beat; no earplugs necessary) of  funk and rock dance tunes like Watermelon Man, Upside Down, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, Honeydipped, and Sidewinder.
