The Hot Sardines

Concert Details

Led by Parisian vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol and New York pianist and bandleader Evan Palazzo, the Hot Sardines have spent nearly 20 years making the case that jazz from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s never stopped being relevant. Nearly two decades after emerging from the underground parties of Brooklyn to sell out Carnegie Hall, the band’s latest record, Good News, is perhaps their most exuberantly alive. The album’s 10 ten tracks read like a love letter to the Great American Songbook and the rowdy, cosmopolitan world that produced it. There are Tin Pan Alley chestnuts alongside New Orleans firepower, and tips of the hat to the songwriting of Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. Recorded in between residencies at New York City’s intimate Birdland, Good News captures the electricity of a band that has logged hundreds of nights in front of audiences who won’t sit down.
