Third Coast Swing

Third Coast Swing brought the music of Belgian-born Romani jazz legend Django Reinhardt and his Hot Club Of Paris band from the 1930s and ’40s back to the Blue LLama Jazz Club stage. The group refreshed the style with Detroit native Dave Bennett, violinist Grant Flick, vocalist Ella Jury Jarvis, and pianist Andrew Henley. Ella and guitarist Kaedin Plummer reworked early jazz classics by Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday to fit the band's unique sound. Third Coast Swing has toured nationally and played recent Michigan festivals during 2023.
