This Jazz Bridge Neighborhood Concert Series is sponsored by Jazz Bridge, a 501C3 nonprofit that assists local jazz and blues musicians in crisis. The Cheltenham Neighborhood Concert series is partially supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.

Born in Wilmington Delaware in 1967, Swanson has made a name for himself as one of the most versatile working bassists in the Philly metro area working with such diverse artists as Siora, Klingon Klez, Don Eaton Band, Cartoon Christmas Trio, and Hoots and Hellmouth. Tripling on electric and upright bass and vocals, Rob finds himself in up to 20 different musical configurations on any given month, including bebop, groove, world, funk and rock. The latest CD release by Swanson is The Terra Soul Project, a compilation of original works inspired by world music and jazz. On stage, Rob will be joined by world-class musicians: Jimmy Coleman—drums (John Legend), Frank Strauss—keys (Tom Jones/Melissa Manchester), and Greg Riley—Sax (Ray Charles/ Keiko Matsui)
