The Felt Hat String Band

Saturday • 4:00 pm

Jazz Alley | (Alley) 93 St & 118 Ave (Southside of 118)

John Calverley is the violinist and leader of the Felt Hat String Band. The group includes some of Canada’s finest professional musicians playing in the hot swing- jazz style. This quartet which includes violin, two guitars, and bass, came about from a love of the 1930’s Gypsy-Jazz pioneered by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. The Felt Hat String Band performs melodies from the canon of this genre in a new and refreshing way, while staying true to the origins of this classic sound.
