Sassafras return to Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre (expired event)

Acclaimed gypsy jazz group Sassafras return to Kalamunda on Sunday May 30th. If Gypsy Jazz and French Swing is your thing... this is the show for you!

Featuring Jessie Gordon (voice), Aaron Deacon & Lachlan Gear (acoustic guitars), Adrian Galante (clarinet) and Pete Jeavons (bass) Sassafras combines toe-tapping swing, breakneck gypsy classics, wistful french ballads and re-worked jazz standards in a vibrant and engaging mix of acoustic music, all performed with the dazzling virtuosity and passion that is intrinsic to the gypsy jazz tradition. Featuring music from composers such as Django Reinhardt, Edith Piaf, Cole Porter, Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Brel (to name only a few), Sassafras has recently completed their debut album set for official release later in the year. The band has a strong connection with Perth's eastern suburbs as all-but-one of the groups regular members grew up in the Perth hills. Having already performed sold out shows in Darlington ('Live at the Hall' and Juniper Studio), Guildford (The Stirling Arms) and Mundaring (The Mundaring Weir Hotel) Sassafras are very happy to return to the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre after their debut performance there in October 2020. Doors open 1.30pm, Concert begins at 2pm.
