Shady Grove Picnic Series: La Pompe Jazz
2017-08-16 18:00 - 20:00 | Four Mile Historic Park, 715 S. Forest Street, Denver, CO, 80246, United States
La Pompe Jazz feat. Sweet B
La Pompe Jazz is a Denver-based gypsy jazz group that fuses eclectic American jazz standards with French ballads, and Django Reinhardt “Hot Club” tunes. With a diverse blend of vocal arrangements and hard swinging instrumentals, La Pompe Jazz has garnered a loyal following. They’ve been making their mark with performances at Denver’s most popular swing dancing venues such as The Mercury Cafe and the Arvada Tavern and a sold out concert at this winter’s’ ‘Speakeasy Soiree’. They have also managed to reach outside the jazz community with notable venues like Ophelia’s and great summer festivals like The Denver Flea, The Big Wonderful and Taste of Fort Collins. La Pompe Jazz is pushing the envelope for what vintage jazz can be and bringing the music alive for a whole new generation.
Featuring David Lawrence on vocals and guitar, Andrew Hannum on guitar, Kevin Laxar on upright bass & Erik Fellenstein on Violin
