Jazz at Sequoya: Christo Ruppenthal

Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Saturday, May 18, 2024, 2:00pm to 4:00pm

Join us for Saturday Jazz! This month, we welcome Christo Ruppenthal's Novelty Combo.

Christo's Novelty Combo presents a unique mixture of the Vaudeville era, novelty and jazz-infused hot steel guitar and ukulele of the 1920s and 30s "Hawaiian Craze," and the swinging sounds of French, Django Reinhardt-style small group swing jazz from the 1930s and 40s. Think Hot Hawaiian guitar meets Jazz à la Django! 

Jazz at Sequoya features local musicians on the third Saturday of every month. The series is generously funded by the Friends of Sequoya Library.
