Join us for Swing Jazz Wednesday at The Argo, a new weekly tradition bringing live swing to Milwaukee's North Shore — one band, one night, every Wednesday. Milwaukee's finest early jazz, pre-war blues and hokum musicianers. Troubadours of Rhythm is an ensemble led by Milwaukee legend Jon Mroz, dedicated to reviving the electrifying, micro-niche sound of late 1920s South Side Chicago. Drawing on the raw energy of rent parties, cabarets, and 35th Street nightlife, the band delivers music that is at once deeply rooted and vividly alive—danceable, virtuosic, and bursting with personality. With tight ensemble interplay, hot solos, and a wink of hokum humor. Swing Jazz Wednesdays are casual, welcoming, and all about the music. Come as you are, grab a seat and listen, or dance the night away. Join us for free swing dance lessons starting at 6:00 PM!
