Paris in a Jazz Age: The Memoirs of Eloise DeFleur
Musical memories from a Parisian café.
A journey through the vibrant swing scene of the 20s, 30s & 40s. Immerse yourself in the musical tales of Eloise DeFleur, brought to life by Airlie Scott and her talented band, with a swinging blend of French chanson, gypsy jazz, blues, and American songbook classics popular in Paris from the roaring twenties through occupation to Liberation at the end of the second world war. Relive the songs, the clubs, and atmosphere of Paris in the Jazz Age, through the eyes of Eloise DeFleur, as she sifts through the music, her love story and tales of her Parisian life.
Jazz vocalist & actress Airlie Scott (ProntoSwing, UK, Europe, Westend, Broadway theatre credits) joined by the melodic playing & captivating vocals of clarinettist and singer Alice Mary Jelaska & early swing accents of hot cornet player Leigh Henson (Mardi Gras band) with a hot rhythm section- fiery, melodic playing of hot jazz guitarist Andy Ruiz Palma (La Bouche Manouche, Bright Stars of Jazz) & the highly sought after hot club guitarist David Ahmed (The Hot Club de Londres) & top London double bass player Alan Gibson.
