the "ROARING TWENTIES" . . . will give you an evening of entertainment from the era of beautiful fashions, elegant celebrities, flappers, gangsters & last but by no means least hot jazz.Tunes from the trumpet and cornets of Louis Armstrong, King Oliver and Bix Beiderbecke are part of the bands repertoire.Added to this are songs from the classic Jazz singers of the 1920’s; Mamie Smith, Ida Cox, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith in the blues and vaudeville styles.
Charleston and Black Bottom your way through the evening
The tune “The Charleston” was popularised by the 1922 musical comedy Runnin’ Wild and the dance was first introduced in Irving C. Miller's Broadway show Liza in the spring of 1923. The Black Bottom was featured in the Harlem show Dinah in 1924 and was then performed in the musical comedy revue George White's Scandals of 1926 on Broadway after which it became a national craze. The black bottom overtook the Charleston in popularity and eventually became the number one social dance.Fancy getting your steps sorted before a gig then learn to Charleston or get your Black Bottom going with the YouTube videos below!
