| Description |
A concert by the harbor in Camden, Main on the Fourth of July. Playing what is sometimes called Gypsy Jazz is the Mes Amis Quartet. This style originated in France in the 1930s with the most famous band being Quintette du Hot Club de France featuring Django Reinhart (guitar) and Stephane Grappelli (violin). Now there are "Hot Club" bands all over. This band is one. They feature a reedist on clarinet, soprano sax and tenor sax. I also uploaded a short video of the band in action. Mes Amis is a Gypsy Jazz trio led by guitarist, vocalist and composer Steve Lynnworth. The band plays an infectious mix of traditional Gypsy, Latin and American jazz standards along with many of Steve’s original compositions. The core of the band is a trio, with Steve handling the vocals and much of the lead work. Backing him up are his friends Harry Richter on guitar and Wells Gordon on the upright bass. Harry provides "La Pompe," the steady backbeat typical of the style, while Wells delivers an authoritative thump as he holds down the bottom. Both Harry and Wells are capable soloists as well - and Wells is awful quick with his bow when necessary! The trio is often joined by Shane Ellis, a master clarinet and sax player. Steve and Shane have a fantastic time playing together and pushing each other to new heights. Click this LINK for a little taste of them playing live together. [Band website] |
