What’s On – Glaven Valley Benefice
FEATURED EVENTS
Transatlantic Hot Club
an evening of French Gypsy Jazz
Saturday 27th April 7pm
Cley Church
Gypsy swing is a style of music made popular in France during the 1930’s by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. They combined traditional Romanian music with the swing jazz of the time and in 1934 formed the Quintette du Hot Club de Paris and the Hot Club moniker has been used ever since to denote this style of music. The music is string based with no drums or brass but the Transatlantic Hot Club is unique in featuring a harp rather than a guitar.
Cardiff born Ben Creighton Griffiths is one of the world’s leading jazz harpists having played in over a dozen countries across the globe while French born Adrien Chevalier is New York’s premier jazz violinist and a leading proponent of gypsy jazz in both the US and Europe. They are joined by Ashley John Long who is regarded as one of Europe’s finest jazz bass players and is also a respected composer and professor of musicology and composition at Cardiff University
There will be an interval when drinks will be available (donation bar).
Tickets £20 available from Norfolk Churches Trust
The proceeds from this event will be divided between Cley Church and Norfolk Churches Trust.
