Orchestra or Band | Benoit Viellefon and His Orchestra |
Performance Notes | Enjoy great food, drink and free live music in the Halls Italian restaurant, Verdi. Verdi offers casual dining and authentic flavours of Italy and is the perfect place to wind down, laugh and eat well with friends and family over a bottle of great Italian wine.
Inspired by the swinging music that emerged from the infamous Parisian Cafes and nightclubs of the 1930s and 1940s, Benoit Viellefon presents his Hot Club. A unique ensemble that celebrates the popular songs played by artists like Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Louis Armstrong, and Sidney Bechet. With all the romanticism and nostalgia of the French repertoire and with a nod to the American jazz virtuosi who visited Paris, the Hot Club is the perfect mix of European finesse and the restless fervour of American hot jazz. |
