Cardinal Hot Club
This was a jazz project focused on the Gitane/Gypsy swing genre, featuring Tim Campbell on guitar and myself on accordion. We played several small private concerts from 2018-2019, but were mostly focused on dedicating ourselves to the music for the sheer joy of it.
Our repertoire included songs by Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, as well as many other jazz standards and folks songs.
