Respite Concert – Vendredi’s Bag – Jazz

Vendredi’s Bag comprises a group of musicians who love Django and Jobim right along with Irving and Miles. Throw in some Eddie Harris and Dr. John and you have a good sense of what their bag is all about. They draw songs from across continents and ages, incorporating jazz standards, Latin grooves, bebop, acoustic funk, and gypsy swing into their performances. The group is based in Olympia, WA and includes mandolin, flugelhorn, electric piano and accordion, upright bass, and drums.
