About

The 30s were an iconic time for music. Jazz had burst onto the world stage and Django Reinhardt ruled the Paris clubs. This is the vibrant era that excites Perth-based quartet VOUDOU ZAZOU. With a name inspired by the sharply-dressed French jazz fans of the time, their repertoire takes you to a time when jazz was fun, with exciting arrangements of classic jazz and gypsy swing numbers, alongside the band’s own authentic originals. Performing regularly at Jazz WA’s Tuesday night sessions, the band is equally at home in intimate jazz rooms and festival stages. They held a 10 year residency at the Swallow Bar in Maylands, have sold out shows at the Ellington (“Swingtime in Paris”), a 5 night Fringe run at His Majesty’s Theatre (“Swingin’ On The High Seas) and had feature performances at WA’s inaugura Gypsy Jazz Festival, alongside International artist Robin Nolan trio and Hank Marvin's Gypsy Jazz Quartet. The delightful vocals of Coo Jarvis are backed by guitar-Andy Jarvis, accordion-Mark Wearing, double bass-Sid Hennessy and special guest Ronniet Orlando on violin. This swinging ensemble is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and bring a smile to your face.
