8pm- Carte Blanche
Genre: Jazz and world music
For fans of: Edith Piaf, Buena Vista social Club, Ella Fitzgerald, Pink Martini, Madeleine Peyroux
NYC based 6-piece jazz ensemble Carte Blanche breathes new life into jazz classics from around the world. Effortlessly transitioning from 20’s and 30’s American Jazz standards to 40’s Parisian swing, bossa nova, Cumbia, Russian, Yiddish and Italian selections, the band’s dynamic and engaging act is a time capsule filled with vintage international music gems-many of them, rarely heard live. The group also incorporates original compositions, offering a modern twist on the tried and true styles of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
“Perfectly Vintage Jazz ensembleCarte Blanche matches it’s jazzy chops with just right silk and sequins.” -Time Out New York
“Carte Blanche lays down clean lively 20’s and 30’s Jazz with frequent foray into international territory. Edith Piaf and Latin American tunes from the same era pop up often on it’s setlist.”-NY Magazine
