Jessy Carolina & the Hot Mess Delve Into the Early Days of Jazz @BluJazzAkron

Jessy Carolina

Thu 2/11 @ 8PM

Vocalist Jessy Carolina plays washboard as well as percussion, which gives you some of the flavor of the band she fronts, Jessy Carolina & the Hot Mess. Hailing from, of all places, New York City, the eight-year-old group plays old-school traditional jazz. The sextet, which also includes Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton on banjo, piano and vocals, Jordan Hyde on guitar, Jay Sanford on bass, Mario J. Maggio on clarinet and tenor sax and Satoru Ohashi on trumpet and trombone, has primarily performed on the east coast, although they’ve also played some dates in Europe and Israel.

They’re branching out some, though, and reaching as far west as Ohio where they’ll play at BluJazz Akron. Admission is $10. They’re also playing the next night in Cleveland for Get Hep Swing’s monthly dance at the Lakewood Masonic Auditorium,
