Performance Date3 May 2014
Performance DaySaturday
Performance Time12:00
Orchestra or BandClub Royale (Giacomo Smith - clarinet, Robin Katz - guitar)
Performance NotesTwo of the greatest jazz musicians, Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet, lived and played in Paris at the same time, yet never recorded together. But it is precisely the dream of Bechet and Reinhardt jamming together in the Paris of the immediate post war period that has inspired the musical styling of Club Royale. The ‘bark’ of electric Django meeting the ‘roar’ of Bechet’s horn is a hip combination as this group’s ‘chamber music swing’ demonstrates with tremendous virtuosity, featuring the talents of Giacomo Smith (clarinet) and Robin Katz (guitar).
