CLUB ROYALE Django meets Bechet

Event information

CLUB ROYALE
Featuring the talents of Giacomo Smith (clarinet, soprano sax) and Robin Katz (guitar) - swinging quintet of 2 guitars, clarinet, trumpet and bass.
Was it fate's cruel joke to music lovers that two of the greatest Jazz musicians, Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet, lived and played in Paris at the same time and yet never recorded together!
What, one might ask, might it have been like…? We shall never know. However, it is precisely the dream of Bechet and Django jamming together in the Paris of the immediate post war period that has inspired the musical styling of Club Royale.
SUNDAY 28 JULY £10
The ‘bark’ of electric Django meeting the ‘roar’ of Bechet’s horn is a hip combination as this groups ‘chamber music swing’ demonstrates with tremendous virtuosity. Featuring the talents of Giacomo Smith (clarinet, soprano sax) and Robin Katz (guitar) and inviting some very special guests, Club Royale will swing it and bring it.
