Leonard Bernstein was without question the greatest musician America ever produced. As an inspirational teacher and renowned conductor he was the nation’s musical ambassador to the world, and his work as a composer bridged gaps and broke down barriers, reaching audiences way beyond the normal boundaries of classical music.

Though the subgenre isn’t the most popular or trendy in the world, “electro swing” has had its fair share of standout characters, and Austria’s own Parov Stelar easily sits atop the throne. Since his start almost 20 years ago, he’s been an incredibly prolific figure, putting out an extensive series of studio albums, live albums, EPs, and reputable remixes. Very few artists can so comfortably spearhead an entire sound or movement while still remaining a respected and lauded artist, which is a testament to Stelar’s chops as a musician.
