Sutter Creek Theatre

This will be a Holiday-themed show, so look for great guitar, bass, violin, and vocals!

With George’s fiery guitar as its centerpiece, this virtuoso Bay Area band will immerse you in their infectious, original jazz groove. Says Art Thompson of Guitar Player magazine: “Cole’s excellent Django-style guitar work and his band’s enticing instrumental and vocal harmonies make them a must-see for any fan of vintage jazz.”

The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society

George Cole - composer, arranger, lead guitar, vocals;
Mary Jenson, vocals, Jimmy Grant - rhythm guitar; Christopher Bastian - upright bass; Tony Ballog, violin
The George Cole Quintet style has been dubbed "Eurocana", a celebration of the great American songbook inspired by the dynamic string-driven swing created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. In addition to new material, they will be playing from their CD Riverside Drive (Pete Douglas' current favorite fun CD) which captures the essence of classic Thirties tunes but maintains a modern sensibility.
