THE HOT SARDINES IN CONCERT:
In just a few short years, The Hot Sardines have gone from NYC underground favorite to international sensation with their fun, fresh take on golden age jazz. The music's spirit may hail from another era, but this ain't your grandparents' jazz -- the talented combo breathe new life into the classics with their foot-stomping energy, technical chops, and a willingness to take risks (live tap dancing, anyone?) that make their live shows both unpredictable and thrilling. From the blustering brass and skittering piano to the French musical influences of Paris-born frontwoman "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol, The Hot Sardines offer up an eclectic and electric concert experience ticket buyers can't get anywhere else.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Hot Sardines formed in Manhattan in the early 2010s after bandleader Evan "Bibs" Palazzo and singer "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol met via Craigslist and began? jamming together. The two instantly clicked over their love of music from the '20s and '30s, and before long they had assembled a talented group of musicians for their Sardine ensemble. The Hot Sardines released their debut album Shanghai'd in 2011, quickly taking the NYC jazz scene by storm with their adventurous sound and wild live shows. By 2012 they were performing to crowds of thousands in Paris, where they represented New York at the Festival d'Ile de France. Legendary performers who've released several acclaimed live albums and earned high praise from Forbes Magazine as "one of the best jazz bands in NYC today" by Forbes Magazine, The Hot Sardines continue to wow with their creative sound and unforgettable sets on tour.
So much fun. Brining back early days with great musicians, singer and even tap Dancing. Great show
Amazing band! Every member superb. Seem to enjoy performing together. Wonderful rapport with the audience. standing ovation. great place to hear and see music. beautiful building. Good food.
Great show. I would see them again if they return.
We saw The Hot Sardines at the Birchmere the night before COVID-19 shutdown the country. The Sardines are back, and so are we. It was a great performance by some outstanding musicians.
Great show with very talented musicians. Jimmys dinner was again top notch. I highly recommend the calamari appetizer...
Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club is a class act. Beautiful Club inside and very organized. I very much enjoyed “The Hot Sardines”. What a great show with very talented members. I would definitely see them again. All and all, for the first time visiting the Jazz Club, I enjoyed myself. If I was to suggest anything, I would have to say that it was a very expensive night between the tickets and fees, dinner and drinks. It was really taxing on the purse strings. And I can’t see my self going frequently, unfortunately. I loved it though.
The entry and seating process is cumbersome and clearly needs to be reworked. The extremely packed entry area (like sardines) and spill over in the sidewalk was unacceptable.
Great venue, great event! We had a wonderful time.
We saw the Hot Sardines at the Newport Jazz festival several years ago. They were even better this time at Jimmy’s! So fun and so talented!
Very impressed at our whole experience - the tickets were perfect Jimmy's Jazz Club was outstanding - wish I lived closer I'd go more often, but to be honest I'd follow The Hot Sardines wherever I could.
