Event
One Leg Up Jazz
One Leg Up will be soothing the streets of downtown Spruce Pine with their sensual gypsy jazz instrumentation and their unique integration of Latin and original music. This concert will take place at the Carolina Theatre on November 15th at 7:30pm.
One Leg Ups John Stineman (guitar & vocal), Jim Tanner (guitar), Daniel Coolik (mandolin, guitar, & electric mandolin), Mike Guzalak (clarinet, tenor saxophone, & vocal), Cary Fridley (bass & vocal), and Steve Trismen (violin) released their first album Gypsy Blue in 2004. Upon its release, Vintage Guitar Magazine wrote One Leg Up plays Gypsy jazz with conviction... the solos come fast and furious from their two solo guitarists, mandolinist, and clarinetist. That same year they accompanied Spanish gypsy jazz guitarist Pere Soto while he toured the U.S. In 2005, they did a concert/book show with Michael Dregni author of the new acclaimed biography Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend. Also, in that year, their live version of Tico Tico was put on WNCW-FMs Crowd Around the Mic, Volume 9, a compilation of the best music recorded live on WNCW that year.
Their second record, Pere Lachaise, released on Bastille Day of 2006 and found One Leg Up playing in an energetic yet new direction. Though the album contains elements from their first, such as a few Django Reinhardt compositions and some jazz tunes for the Tin Pan Alley days, this new album welcomes the addition of Cary Fridley on bass and vocals, some electric guitar and mandolin work, and newly fashioned, fresh arrangements of lesser known standards.
One Leg Up performs throughout the Southeast U.S. at festivals, concerts, clubs, dance events, and any place where the music lovers appreciate the sensual energy of a tight jazz ensemble. Be sure to catch their debut performance at the historic Carolina Theatre!
