The Hot Sardines and Seattle Symphony

NYC band Hot Sardines delivers hot jazz with a modern twist, led by pianist Evan "Bibs" Palazzo and Paris-born singer "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol. Known for a vibrant brass lineup and Fats Waller-style piano, their music evokes the spirit of wartime Paris, Harlem, and New Orleans. Acclaimed by Clive Davis and featuring tunes reminiscent of Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt, they prove classic jazz is timeless pop.
