Sassafras Trio

THE CHIEFTAIN presents...

SASSAFRAS TRIO

SATURDAY 23 AUGUST 6.30pm-9pm - Door Open from 6pm

Django Reinhardt was one of the world's greatest jazz guitarists who fused the traditional music from his Gypsy heritage with American swing and created the style known as "Gypsy Jazz".

Whilst American Jazz has the tendency, to sound aerial and erratic, Gypsy Jazz sounds down to earth and the melodies are quite traceable, comprehensible and singable.

The very talented Sassafras Trio combines toe-tapping swing, breakneck gypsy jazz and re-worked jazz standards in a vibrant and engaging mix of acoustic music, all performed with the dazzling virtuosity and passion that is intrinsic to the gypsy jazz tradition. Repertoire features classics from the likes of Django Reinhardt, Birelli Lagrene, Gonzalo Bergara and Les Doigts Des L'Homme (to name a few) plus original arrangements of jazz standards and some original compositions too, all with a progressive leaning.

Sassafras Trio are extremely popular and have played at multiple Festivals and venues.

Pete Jeavons - Double Bass

Lachlan Gear - Acoustic Guitar

Aaron Deacon - Acoustic Guitar

Come and fill your soul with the delightful room-filling sound of Sassafras Trio.

(Just a few of the) REVIEWS

“ Acoustic gypsy jazz band Sassafras presented a world-class musical performance to the capacity audience that filled (the) Ellington Jazz Club...”

Steve Baitz, Seesaw Mag, Jan 26th 2019

“ Despite their small acoustic make up the three-piece provided a driving rhythm section, intricate solo work and sweetly lyrical melodies... the room was crowded with an enthusiastic audience and no one wanted it to end.”

Rosalind Appleby, Noted, July 6th 2018
