Live Music in Verdi – Club Royale

– Two of the greatest jazz musicians, Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet, lived and played in Paris at the same time, yet never recorded together! But it is precisely the dream of Bechet and Reinhardt jamming together in the Paris of the immediate post war period that has inspired the musical styling of Smitty's Big Four.

The ‘bark’ of electric Django meeting the ‘roar’ of Bechet’s horn is a hip combination as this group’s ‘chamber music swing’ demonstrates with tremendous virtuosity, featuring the talents of Giacomo Smith (clarinet) and Robin Katz (guitar).
