Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-the-boys front woman with a voice from another era, and you have the Hot Sardines. (We haven’t even told you about the tap dancer yet.)
It’s a great American success story worthy of the cinema. A born-and-bred NYC actor meets a Parisian-born writer at an open jazz jam over a noodle shop in Manhattan, and from there the Hot Sardines were born. Bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and lead singer Miz Elizabeth combine with the Sardine ensemble of powerhouse musicians – and their very own tap dancer – to play “hot jazz” as it was in the era when live music was king…with a little glamour, a little grit, and a lot of passion. Even while giving voice to the history-defining jazz of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, the Hot Sardines’ vibrant performances bridge generations and captivate 21st century audiences. Forbes Magazine calls them “one of the best jazz bands in NYC today.”
Hot Sardines & Dinner! /POP Up with Union Joints/Feb 9/ Jazz Cafe
The Hot Sardines have a distinctive recipe for making musical magic: take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie it all together with a one-of-the-boys frontwoman who sings in both English and French with a voice from another era.
So in celebration, Jazz Cafe adds to this musical gumbo on Monday, February 9th - DINNER AT 6PM SHOW AT 8PM) with another Pop Up Dinner And Jazz night.

C. Alexander
Through his continued love for all things music, it has led him to work with various artists, in multiple genres of music. He has to always remember his late great grandmother Stenis Ousley (1914-1991), who traveled this great country letting the world share her vocal gifts. Also noted, his grandmother Delores (Ousley)Fields (1934) whom started with Motown Records in the very beginning as a copy-writer and background vocalists. He cherishes and is also humbled by the blessing the God has bestowed upon him and displays that each time he performs. Giving it his all in every show down to the very last note.
