you stepped back in time 60-70 years and you're rockin' out to some hip swing.
Laissez Foure is knee-deep in the tradition of the 30s and 40s - the heyday of the original jazz combos. With upright bass, guitar, sax and cornet - the band is very portable and emulates the vintage sound and look of the era.

Hey Ken! I saw Laissez Foure last week (2/1/08) at Extra Virgin with my enitre family. Sorry We missed you! The group sounded great nevertheless!! Maybe I'll catch you the next time I'm in DC. Best Wishes, John.
