Miss Jubilee's Hot Swing Jazz Brunch

Miss Jubilee brings her Hot Swing Jazz Brunch to Evangeline's Bistro and Music House on Sunday, October 25, starting at 10:30 AM. It's a morning that leans hard into the interwar years, billed as "1920's & 30's Hot Jazz, Hokum & Low-Down Blues," and the music is just one part of the spread. The house act, the YAS YAS BOYS, handle the hot jazz and low-down blues of the 1920s and 30s, and the whole thing is served alongside piping hot beignets and bottomless mimosas.

For this edition, the music comes from Miss Jubilee, Ethan Leinwand, and TJ Muller. The YAS YAS BOYS are the house act here, and they specialize in the hot jazz and low-down blues of the interwar years. If you're not familiar with the sound, Michael Steinman of Jazz Lives described it as "a kind of hot elegant rawness, a wild oxymoron that will make sense with the first listening." It's that kind of music that works as well with a slow brunch as it does when you're actually paying attention to the playing.

Between the beignets and the mimosas, it's a long, slow morning of music that doesn't rush itself. The brunch is at Evangeline's Bistro and Music House, 512 N. Euclid Ave., and you can reach them at 314-367-3644 if you have questions. It kicks off at 10:30 AM on Sunday, October 25.
