Acoustic Gypsy Jazz afternoon by the duo Adrian & Jarrod, inspired by Django Reinhardt, with seasonal dishes from Powell's Kitchen.
Adrian Underhill and Jarrod Elks are bringing an afternoon of acoustic Gypsy Jazz to Barnaby's Lounge on Sunday 7 February, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. The duo works from the spirit of Django Reinhardt, the Belgian-born guitarist who defined the genre, and they build their set around that same swinging rhythm and those timeless melodies. It's an acoustic session, so the sound comes from the instruments themselves rather than a big rig.
They describe their approach as drawing on Reinhardt's legacy while adding their own distinctive style, and that's exactly what you'll hear: the familiar, driving swing of Gypsy Jazz with their own take on it. It's a duo, so the focus stays on the interplay between the two of them, and the acoustic setup keeps it light and conversational, the kind of thing that fits a Sunday afternoon without taking over the whole room.
The music runs alongside seasonal dishes from Powell's Kitchen, plus wines, cocktails and craft beers, so you can make a proper meal of it. It's a mid-afternoon slot, which means you're in and out while it's still light, with the music as the main thing to gather around. The session is at Barnaby's Lounge, 46 Robertson Street, Hastings, TN34 1NJ.
