Chasing The Moon, Gypsy Jazz, Leichhardt Bowlo, Sat 26 Oct
About
Chasing The Moon returns to Leichhardt Bowlo!Six-piece Sydney band, Chasing the Moon, plays Hot Club Gypsy Jazz, as created by Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli in the 1930's.
The band plays with energy and passion, reminiscent of the great jazz of days gone by. There's a freshness in the way different styles are combined, a mix of hot club with blues, a touch of folk, Latin rhythms, plus lashings of swing and modern elements too.
"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; Merv Sequiera: double bass; & Mike Quigley: drums.
