Verdi Club: The Rachael Magidson West Coast Jazz Quartet at the Woodchopper’s Ball
RACHAEL MAGIDSON WEST COAST JAZZ QUARTET:
On tour, all the way from Bordeaux, France, the Rachael Magidson West Coast Jazz Quartet! Combining the authentic interpretations of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist (and native San Franciscan!) Rachael Magidson with some hot jazz players, this band plays swingin’ arrangements of classics from the great American Songbook. “The more you delve into this wonderful ensemble’s sound the more it transports you to a speakeasy in the 1930’s and you almost at times feel you are reminiscing at a Billie Holiday show–it is almost uncanny how much Magidson captures Holiday’s unique delivery.” -Constance Tucker, All About Vocals
