Thread Name: Is Trad Jazz part of the Folk Scene
Subject: RE: Is Trad Jazz part of the Folk Scene
Just last month, the Lansdowne Folk Club in Pennsylvania featured Beau Django in concert, which is a quartet going after the Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli type of jazz. Whether it is "Trad Jazz" or not is a different discussion, but it was very well received and appropriate.
This Folk Club does a great job of mixing up the types of music they present throughout the year...the venue that the club uses is about one mile from where the great jazz guitar player Eddie Lang is buried.
