Ok, here's the story on the band's name!

It started with founder Dr Stewart Sell in San Diego, where he and a group of faculty from UCSD medical school formed a band called "Biorhythm."

Stew then went on to Houston where he played in a band, founded by famous heart surgeon Dr Denton Cooly, called the "Heart Beats." After Dr Cooly left, the band was called "Jazz Medics."

The Swing Docs first got together here in New York in 1998 when Stew sent an email to Albany Medical College faculty to find players. Many of the original members were AMC doctors, including our band director, Chairman of the Division of Orthopedics, Dr Richard Uhl. It was Dr Stanley Glick (who, until his recent retirement, was Director of the Center for Neuropharmacology & Neuroscience at AMC) who suggested the name "Swing Docs". Later the band added other players who worked in the medical field, and also many who were not doctors.
