The Hot Sardines

The Sardine sound is steeped in straight-up, foot-stomping jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Fats Waller used to make. “One of the best jazz bands in New York City today” (Forbes) The Hot Sardines reinvent hot jazz for the 21st century with glamour, grit and passion. Led by Parisian singer and songwriter “Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol and stride piano player and bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo, the band encompasses a blustery brass lineup, a rhythm section led by stride piano, and Miz Elizabeth’s English and French vocals. Their sound fuses musical influences from New York, Paris and New Orleans, from the Prohibition era through the Great Depression, World War II and beyond.
