New Season Musings: Janice

I’ve always thought it would be really exciting to live in Paris in the 1920’s. (My husband always points out that some pretty bad things were on the horizon, but in my mind I would just kind of get dropped in to enjoy the music and art and literary scene and definitely be out of there by 1940).  So I am really excited about the Hot Club of San Francisco (coming November 16). The gypsy jazz sound of Django Reinhardt clearly evokes that early 20th century era for me – bohemian, glamorous in a slummy kind of way, the not quite innocent fun.  (And this show will have the added feature of silent surreal films). You can just tell from the picture that these guys really know how to swing.  What if we all showed up dressed for the occasion in the styles of that era. Everyone tapping toes, nodding heads, moving to the music. Too cool. Can’t wait.
