As unpredictable, fearless, and entertaining as their namesake, Le Chat Lunatique purveys an addictive genre they call “filthy, mangy jazz”. Le jazz hot of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli is their north star, but they use that beacon to navigate through a wide range of genres, blending Western swing, classical, reggae, and d00-wop into strikingly original compositions and audaciously reworked standards alike. Their irreverent humor, their intensity, and their expert musicianship will soon win them your acclamation. This program is funded by the Friends for the Public Library.
