But...Meschiya Lake and dem Little Big Horns are in town!Meschiya is an incredible old time jazz singer who used to sing with the Loose Marbles, but now performs with her own band, the Little Big Horns. They have a new record out which you should snap up immediately- it even holds a few original tunes written by Meschiya herself!

Here I am again, blogging about the goings on at Avalon Jazz Productions (aka, my brain).The second ever Tight Like This occurred last night.It was different from the last one in many ways...the first of which being that is wasn't quite as packed as last time. This is because the bands that played, Roosevelt Dime and The Scandinavian Half Breeds, are not as well known among dancers. Because Tight

Last night I went to see "Lichtman's Brain Cloud" at Banjo Jim's. Dennis Lichtman of The Cangelosi Cards is the leader of this band which last night included: Izzy Zaidman (Guitar), Tamar Korn (Vocals), Raphael McGregor (Slide Guitar), Ian Riggs (Upright Bass), Dennis Lichtman (Mandolin/Clarinet/Fiddle), and Kevin Dorn (Drums). Needless to say, such an incredible line up of musicians under Dennis

It feels strange to blog about my own event, but here I am! "Tight Like This" went off without a hitch on Thursday night and despite copious amounts of stress and nervousness, I managed to have a great time at my own event. It was beautiful!First off, I could not have asked for more amazing bands to have played the very first one. Baby Soda Jazz Band and Tin Pan Blues Band have both been friends

My first order of business on this fine January day is actually a sad one. Due to the fact that The Telephone Bar is changing ownership, tonight will be the last time that Tamar Korn and The Cangelosi Cards will ever play together in the beautiful back room. The band will in fact cease to play there entirely in the very near future.The Telephone Bar has been the one Cards gig where one can find a

I had a wonderful time djing at the NYSDS dance last night with the Harlem Renaissance Orchestra. I played everything from Bix Beiderbecke and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Count Basie and Artie Shaw, to The Boswell Sisters and The Cangelosi Cards. Playing for people who truly love to dance is a real joy. The difference between playing for a crowd of younger "lindyhoppers" and older "dancers" is

Sly Blue at the Speakeasy Due to unfortunate structural problems at the speakeasy space that Sly Blue had been playing at previously, they moved their Tuesday night dance uptown to Session 73, a lovely bar/restaurant with a bandstand and a dance floor on 73rd and 1st avenue.

Tamar Korn even showed up the most recent one and sang "Everybody Loves My Baby" with Meschiya.

For those of you who don't know what White Heat is, it is a every-other-weekly dance run by Richard Kurtzer. At White Heat, dancers can find faster music than at a more typical New York City event. Balboa, Shag, and Fast Lindy dancers find a haven here, but you don't have to specialize in fast dancing to have a good time.  DJs are the norm, but Richard is starting to reach out to the incredible

I took this video a few weeks ago at Mona's. You can't see anything, the point is just to listen...listen through the darkness and shaky camera (because I was dancing about). Here they are playing Over In That Glory Land. They play every Tuesday night from 11 until 3 or 4 am. It's a jam session, so a lot of guys sit in. The musicians in this video are Jesse Selengut (trumpet, vocals), Rob

So...I've been listing Stephane Wrembel's shows on here with a vague idea that he plays Django jazz. I knew he was good because someone whose taste I trust sent me his gig list. But, yeah, I had zero clue.I went to see Stephane play last night at Barbes and I have to say...it was freaking amazing. It is like Spanish-rock and roll-Django-on-steroids-and-weed. He is very French and his hands get

Lettin' ya'll know that Tin Pan newest CD has just arrived at Jesse's door and soon we can all run out...to CDbaby and iTunes to purchase it. The CD is called Hound's Tooth and has their new and hopefully permanent bassist, the most-awesomest-ever Rob Adkins playin' on it. Jesse has uploaded a track to his blog.Not sure what the price will be, but it will certainly be worth every penny.

Here is Avalon's first photography feature, with pictures from last years 1920's picnic on Governor's Island. Spiked watermelons and flappers abound.the end.

Excerpts about the Cangelosi Cards (mainly Tamar here, though the entirety of it includes more about the other musicians) from an essay I submitted to my world music professor:"The venue for their show is called the Telephone Bar. The bar is completely unremarkable when one first enters, just a typical St. Mark's place Irish pub.

They will also find reviews and upcoming news about the music itself. Musicians and dancers will be able to find each other, nurturing the warm community that these two groups have formed. We have
