Saturdays

Cotton Club Bedford

Starring

The Alisa Lands Quartet

29th Nov 2025

Be transported back to a classy 1930’s Parisian night club with a lead singer that has the power of Barbara Streisand and the emotional delivery of Edith Piaf. An exciting gypsy-swing style band, inspired by the Hot Jazz played in the 1930s and 40s in Paris. Uplifting gypsy swing tunes from the Django Reinhardt era, classic Jazz standards from the Great American Songbook, sultry Latin touches and evocative French Chansons, all played in the invigorating, distinctive, gypsy-swing style.
