The Hot Sardines — live event

Limited availability. Please contact CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800. “One of the best jazz bands in New York” (Forbes), The Hot Sardines is a group of irreverent, effortlessly swinging, early-jazz specialists. With the help of singular special guest Alan Cumming, they invoke 1920s Berlin, where cabarets thrummed with American jazz that represented liberation and modernity to some, and a threat—cultural, racial, and sexual—to others. Hear the era-defining sounds of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong, whose music became an imported countercultural soundtrack; music by expatriate bandleader Sam Wooding, whose orchestra electrified German dance halls; and nods to the innovations brought about by the likes of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht.
