Jazz with Connie

Connie Evingson with Patty & the Buttons

April in Paris

Connie takes us to Paris for an evening of “le Jazz Hot”, the swinging, romantic jazz style created in 1930’s  France and featured in movies like Midnight in Paris and Ratatouille.  With songs from her CD’s Gypsy in My Soul,  All the Cats Join In and Stockholm Sweetnin’,  you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a cafe on the Champs-Élysées!

Patty and The Buttons preach the gospel of hot rhythm and happy feet! The band is similar to what you would find in a dancehall, cafe or speakeasy between 1920 and 1940.  The core instrumentation of accordion, clarinet, guitar and bass is light and swift but also melancholic and lush when it needs to be. More than anything, The Buttons is a group that is always enjoying themselves, which seems to give audiences permission to do the same!
