About the concert

The Swing Ladies of the 1930's

The International Group ‘The Travelling Janes’ from England, Germany, Japan and the USA - The international group ‘The Traveling Janes’ revels in the hot jazz and crazy blues music with its vaudevillian roots – that dates from the 1890s to the 1930s.  Bessie Smith, Mae Rainey, Victoria Spivey, Ruth Etting, Annette Hanseau, Sophie Tucker and many other forgotten jazz pioneer women of this exciting period from the early history of jazz and blues will feature in this performance by five unusual, talented and vivacious musicians!

This special quintet of female musicians was assembled by their British born leader, Ellie Affleck. The ‘Janes’ come from all over the world and provide a very different musical experience.

Ellie Affleck, the group's soloist, has appeared on some of the top jazz stages such as the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Ascona Festival, and of course the London Jazz Festival.  The girls' acoustic instruments, banjo, tuba, piano and wind instruments, bring with them the unique flavor of the late twenties and early thirties – join us for ‘swing time’.
