Come enjoy a special evening of glitz, glamour and elegance of the 1920’s. Â
“Get Your Gatsby On” with Svetlana & The Delancey Five live at the Waveny House Saturday April 20th, 2013 6:30 pm.
From premier NYC jazz clubs to the underground world of NYC subway and secret speakeasy parties, Svetlana & The Delancey Five  is a “very sweet & naughty” (Jazzlives), “energetic” (Wall Street Journal), “delightful” (WRHU Jazz Radio), and cinematically handsome Golden Age-inspired sextet. Rocking hard swinging 20s-40s jazz standards as well as charismatic originals, and featuring Svetlana’s sultry… “made for jazz” (streetcredmusic) vocals backed by the band members’ inspired harmonizing and virtuoso instrumentals – their tunes are so infectious, they’ll sweep you off your feet and steal your heart away!”
“Led by energetic vocalist Svetlana Shmulyian, the quintet co-stars Adrian Cunningham on clarinet and tenor (shining on “Lester Leaps In”) while Dalton Ridenhour piano work ensures that the group splits the difference between Fat Waller’s Rhythm and Counts Basie’s Kansas City Five” (Will Friedwald, Wall Street Journal, 9.15.12) and also features “the native guitar wizard” (JazzLive) Ted Gottsegen, Rob Garcia, “…one of New York’s great jazz drummers and composers.†(Capital New York) and “a prime mover in the current Brooklyn jazz scene…†(Time Out-New York) and powerful and in-demand New York city bassist Brandi Disterheft (“She has the same lope or ryhthmical pulse as my late bass player, Ray Brown. She is what we call serious .” – Oscar Peterson)
The Wavey House, located in the beautiful Waveny Town Park. Waveny House was constructed in 1912 for the Lewis Lapham family and sits majestically overlooking three hundred acres of Connecticut countryside. The beautiful grounds and open air patio compliment the early 1900’s period dated wood paneled walls and ceilings, tudor style leaded glass windows, marble fireplaces, hand stenciled muraled walls, and wide plank wooden floors.
“Get Your Gatsby On”  is Pound Ridge Elementary School’s largest fundraising effort. Proceeds from this event will provide much needed support to school.
