“Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-the-boys voice from another era, and you have the Hot Sardines.”
(About The Hot Sardines)
Forbes Magazine calls them “one of the best jazz bands in NYC today” and without question The Hot Sardines should feature on Jazz&Jazz amongst our “New Generation of Jazz Bands”.
Here is a brief selection of their many reviews:
“Simply phenomenal, crisp musicianship going hand in hand with immaculate and witty showmanship.” THE TIMES (LONDON)
“Celebrating hot jazz in high style and with sharp talent… leaves us wanting more.” JAZZ TIMES
“The charismatic front-runners of vintage jazz play big halls as if they’ve just dropped in to a party.” THE GUARDIAN
“Old-time jazz with new-time energy and style… magic on stage. There is no other band playing live quite like The Hot Sardines.” wfuv.org

The Hot Sardines hit the UK big time in May this year when they appeared on the BBC’s “Later… With Jools Holland”
