FiddleBop and Friends play "Gypsy jazz plus" at Brecon Jazz Club (The Muse, Glamorgan Street, Brecon, Powys LD3 7DW). This will be a night to remember! The lineup is:
* Dave Favis-Mortlock (violin and vocals)
* Joanna Davies (Spanish guitar and vocals)
* Graeme Lamble (fretless bass and vocals)
and special guests:
* Rod Paton (keyboard)
* Leslie Maynerd (alto sax)
* Steve Harley (percussion)
* Amy Rose Garlick (vocals)
* Ros Garratt (vocals).
So what is this "Gypsy jazz plus"? Back in the 1930s, the Quintette du Hot Club de France (think Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli) created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some JS Bach. FiddleBop’s music is just as wide-ranging: expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre’s century-long history, plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the band’s own creations. Add some irreverent banter, then season to taste. Yum!
Early bird tickets are only £14. Doors open 7.30 pm for an 8 pm start. See you there?
