Our May 1, 2022 show will be a slight change of pace, Jazz of the same era but from across the pond: the Flat Out Strangers will join our fabulous house band with the sounds of “Le Jazz Hot” from 1930’s France. Check out the Strangers on their Facebook page; they play frequently around Columbia and have a following in the swing dance community. The style is sometimes called “Gypsy Jazz” or “Jazz Manouche” because Romani guitarist Django Reinhart, along with violinist Stephane Grapelli in the Quintette de Hot Club de France were innovators and popularizers of this style of jazz.
