West Philadelphia Foot TappersJazz Band from Philadelphia, PA

The West Philly Foot Tappers play a mix of hot gypsy jazz and sultry standards of the Prohibition Era. The music of Django Rheinhardt is a major ingredient but romantic ballads, New Orleans jazz, tango and klezmer are all part of the mix. Not a stuffy museum piece, this band brings a fire to traditional jazz and know how to rock a party. Available anywhere from a trio to a six piece band, with male and female lead vocalists. Instrumentation includes guitar, upright bass, jazz mandolin, violin, clarinet and sax, sometimes trumpet and trombone. Typically we dress in period attire. We can provide a PA and supply interim background music between sets. We can provide music for swing dancing, an intimate cabaret or cocktail party or a nostalgic but high energy flair for your festival or larger public event.
