The Curiosities Jazz Band at the Woodchopper’s Ball

June 20, 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm

The Curiosities Jazz Band

The Curiosities Jazz Band is a tiny ensemble playing the standards of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.  Led by longtime swing dancer and guitarist Nirav Sanghani, the band focuses on a classic repertoire that’s great for dancing and listening.  This expanded lineup of the band will include Nathan Tokunaga on reeds and Mikiya Matsuda on bass, plus the stellar augmentation of Rob Reich on piano and Benny Amón on drums.

WOODCHOPPER’S BALL:

The Woodchopper’s Ball, San Francisco’s swing hot spot, is a weekly Tuesday night swing dance event held at the historic Verdi Club in San Francisco’s Mission district. Named after the classic 1939 swing tune by the Woody Herman Orchestra (and their biggest hit!), it features monthly classes, a full bar (21+ only), and a dance party with a drop-in lesson and the largest variety of live swing dance music in town!
