Redhouse Hot Six

When Louis Armstrong left New Orleans for Chicago in 1922 to play in King Oliver's band, when whiskey was drunk from teacups and cigarettes smoked through long carved holders, when the skirts and hairstyles of young women grew shorter by the season - that was when hot jazz was born. This unmistakable jazz style is exactly what REDHOUSE HOT SIX from Freiburg have dedicated themselves to.

Louis Armstrong, King Oliver and Duke Ellington are the guiding spirits when the band gets going. Or, as one witness put it: "The band was simply unstoppable... the whole place was one seething cauldron... I had the feeling the roof was about to lift off!" (quote)

So come ready to be surprised and swept up in an evening of genuinely great music.
