Chasing The Moon, Gypsy Jazz, Leichhardt Bowlo, Sat 24 May
About
Six-piece Sydney band Chasing The Moon presents a feast of Manouche and Latin inspired music, drawing on the traditions of Django Rheinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and embellishing them with Latin flavours.The band plays with energy and passion, bringing a freshness to the way different styles are combined, a mix of hot club with the blues, a touch of folk, Latin rhythms, plus lashings of swing and modern elements too. The vocals soar over arrangements that are original and provide just the right framework for each musician to shine.
"Their evocation of gypsy swing, cool blues, and continental jazz styles is peerless among Australian groups. The quality of the arrangements, the virtuosity of the instrumentalists, and Kathy Bluff’s vocals are simply outstanding.” – Tony Smith, Trad & Now Magazine.
The band: Kathy Bluff: violin & lead vocals; Garry Steel: accordion; Paul Burjan: soprano & tenor sax; John Blenkhorn: guitar & mandolin; Merv Sequiera: double bass; & Mike Quigley: drums.
