Time Rag Department @ Franz Club
2023-11-30 20:00 | FRANNZ Club, Schönhauser Allee 36,, Berlin, Berlin, 10435, Germany
Swing Patrol with The Time Rag Department!
The Time Rag Department was formed out of a love for the old melodies, rhythms and sounds of the early jazz era. It invites the listener on a journey through time, entices him or her to dance and spreads the joy of this music. The musicians dedicate themselves with passion to the tradition of Old Time Jazz in all its facets: meticulous and varied, inspired by the sounds of the Paul Whiteman and Duke Ellington orchestras, or uninhibitedly emotional, driven by the sounds of New Orleans Jazz by Bunk Johnson or Sidney Bechet. Harmonious vocals and thrilling horn parts alternate with virtuoso solos and collective improvisations, always driven by an unerring rhythm section. Sometimes the Time Rag Department swings and stomps like a steam engine, sometimes the rhythm floats lightly and elegantly.

The Toolbox Orchestra @ Yorkschlösschen
2024-01-13 08:00 - 20:00 | Yorckschlösschen, Yorckstraße 15, Berlin, 10965
The Toolbox Orchestra is an exotic one-in-a-million-band, even for their notorious adopted home town Berlin: They are an all-female band and originally started out on instruments straight from the workshop like singing saw and washtub bass. Add in the zing of banjo, guitar, trumpet, and clarinet, and voila! You’ve got a sonic cocktail that’s as sprightly as it is unique, channelling the playful spirit of early 1920s and early 30s music.
And there’s more to The Toolbox Orchestra than meets the ear. They’ve shared the spotlight with Jazz New Orleans star-singer Meschiya Lake, rocked Swing Dance Festivals from Germany to the cosmos, and even sprinkled their magic at the Berlin Short Film Festival, Interfilm 2020.
