In February we’re excited to present two shows at the Musicquarium, this special vocal edition, & our regular instrumental night 02/09-www.facebook.com/events/2072850406272029
Silk Road Swing bandleader Victor Horky joins forces with Roya & The High Timers bandleader & vocalist Roya Jamshidpour to bring you a mix of early jazz, Gypsy-swing, and bebop.
ROYA is a jazz singer and bandleader based in St. Louis, MO, specializing in the jazz and blues style of the 1920s through 1940s.
In St. Louis, her band “Roya & The High Timers” plays her favorite music with an authentic, but original style providing listeners a unique experience by highlighting the underplayed and obscure songs of the era while delivering the best combination of passion, distinctive vocal style, and era-authentic interpretations of some of the jazz age’s greatest moments.
The line-up:
Roya Jamshidpour~vocal
Victor Horky~guitar
Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews~piano/reeds
Geoff Harper~upright bass
If you’ve never danced at the Triple Door, there is a large open area next to the stage with a smooth floor suitable for dancing, especially with proper shoes.
There’s no cover at the Musicquarium, but please tip the band and enjoy the food and drink!

The reviews of the first Gypsy Swing Club are in!
“Lots of great little tips and stuff for the people like me who are on the newer side of things. I really enjoyed the time because the last year learning GJ for me has literally only consisted of sitting in my living room alone playing. It was really great to get a chance to get out of the house and hang out and play with a big group of others from the area. I look forward to the next one and hope to have more time after next time (had to leave fairly quickly) to build some relationships and maybe find some more frequent jam partners.”
Thanks to Brad Herman for this wonderful synopsis!

Last session, we had Douglas Martin jamming with the group, EML gypsy picks for people to demo, and covered “Dark Eyes” and “Daphne”. This next session will feature the head of artists relations from Saga presenting their Gitane guitars, as well as 5 Saga Gypsy guitars to demo, including the original prototype for the Gitane DG-500. We will also cover “Lady Be Good”, and “Swing Gitane” with special emphasis on chordal cliches that show up in those tunes and other gypsy standards.
The next meeting is St. Pattie’s day, March the 17th, from 1-3 @ Keith Holland Guitars in Los Gatos CA.

Jackie and Tovi recently arrived from Alaska, where they led the group Swing 49. Jackie’s soulful and improvisational singing made her a finalist at the 2017 Seattle Jazz Vocalist Competition. Tovi studied classical and jazz guitar at the University of Alaska–he plays hard-swinging rhythm and lithe, playful solos.
The concert will feature music from Ranger and the “Re-Arrangers” repertoire of swing standards and traditional Gypsy melodies.
