Details:
Prohibition Jazz played like it should be: fast and louche! Tantalizing echoes of the British dance hall, Harlem Swing and a dangerous hint of Gypsy Jazz all rolled into one hot menagerie of crooning, tap dance, old world suave, rakish banter and correspondent shoes. Delicious Art Decodence!

Arthur Foxaque, âThe Caustic Croonerâ, notorious dandy and troubadour of swing, leads the elegant entourage that is Top Shelf Jazz. His genuine 30âs crooning voice flows like silk through classic jazz melodies, harking back to speakeasy parties, silver screen romances and the Art Deco movement. Not only do they play the inter-war classics, they also dominate the dance floor with their own original stomping swing tunes!

Top Shelf Jazz have performed across Europe and the UK, at international festivals, seedy cabarets, celebrity bashes and wedding receptions (well, someoneâs got to do itâ¦). They have even ventured south of the Equator once or twice and in 2008 opened proceedings at the Glastonbury Festival by causing an unexpected riot in the Jazz Lounge! Their reputation as fast talking swing merchants is growing quicker than a Wall Street trader can dump his shares!

As if this is not enough, the band also sports their very own tap dancer, Josephine Shaker: a work of art; an intoxicating modern day fusion between Ginger Rogers and Josephine Baker! Dazzling tap solos and devilish wit enrapture the crowd while she whisks away the odd drink unnoticed and unbegrudged! But you know what they say, âWell-behaved women rarely make history.â
