Description
Perth’s premier gypsy jazz group ‘Sassafras’ returns to the Duke of George. Featuring Jessie Gordon (voice), Adrian Galante (clarinet), Lachlan Gear & Aaron Deacon (guitars) and Pete Jeavons (bass).

" What a truly extraordinary group of talented performers. This 5-piece Perth jazz band is a amalgamation of 4 of the most enigmatic musicians you`ll ever see. Not to mention, the vocals of Jessie Gordon who has the most astoundingly powerful range"
