Yaz Band is a four piece group, which plays classic R&B songs written by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire and Marvin Gaye as well as original instrumental tunes influenced by Grover Washington, Jr., Maceo Parker and The Crusaders
Yaz Band was founded by Yasuyuki "YAZ" Takagi, a native of Osaka Japan who has lived in Brooklyn, New York since 1992. He formed his own band called "YAZ BAND" in 2002 and has been playing in New York Metro area
Hot Sardines. In just under three years, the Hot Sardines have gone from their first gig - at a coffeeshop on the last Q train stop in Queens - to headlining at Lincoln Center, where they played to a crowd of 6000 on Bastille Day 2011
They've also opened for the Bad Plus and French gypsy-jazz artist Zaz
The Hot Sardines sound – wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around – is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Fats Waller used to make
Straight-up, foot-stomping jazz. (Literally – the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section)
They manage to invoke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age
The band was born when a stride piano player (Evan Palazzo) and a singer (Elizabeth Bougerol) met at a jam session advertised on Craigslist. Above a noodle shop on 49th Street, they discovered a mutual love for songs from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s that no-one really plays anymore
