The Lucky 5 is a hard-swinging jazz band that blends swing and gypsy jazz to create a unique, foot-stomping blend of music that appeals to a wide range of music lovers. The Lucky 5 performs both original compositions as well as putting a new spin on old jazz standards. The Lucky 5 brings verve, high energy, and an unpredictable impulse to the tradition of jazz from the 20's, 30's and 40's, grooving deeply, and keeping feet moving on the dance floor. The Lucky 5 is Kip Beacco (guitar,) Will Carroll (drums), Matt Downing (bass), Carolyn Dufraine (trombone), and Jonathan Talbott (fiddle).
Oldtone Productions hosts Swing night at Dewey Hall the third Friday (with a couple of exceptions). The next dance will be June 21 with Chops, Sauerkraut, and Krewtons.
This program is supported in part by grants from the towns of Sheffield, Alford-Egremont, Mount Washington, and Monterey Massachusetts Local Cultural Councils.
