Bei Mir Bist du Schoen Live by The Hot Sardines (PopMatters, presented by The Music Playground)

www.hotsardines...
"Dixieland has moved on up" -- The Wall Street Journal
"A revelation" -- Bill Bragin, Lincoln Center
"Consistently electrifying live" -- Popmatters
Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-the-boys frontwoman whose vocals have been compared to Anita O'Day's, and you have the Hot Sardines. (We haven't even told you about the tap dancer yet.)
In a short time, the Hot Sardines have gone from their first gig -- at a coffeeshop on the last Q train stop in Queens -- to selling out Joe's Pub three times in three months, headlining at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing (where they played to a crowd of 6000 on Bastille Day), and opening for the Bad Plus, Lulu Gainsbourg and French gypsy-jazz artist Zaz. Through it all they've become regulars at the Shanghai Mermaid speakeasy and turned The Standard, where they play regularly, into their own "saloon in the sky" (The Wall Street Journal) -- complete with tap dancing on the bar -- honing a live persona that's been called "unforgettably wild" and "consistently electrifying" (Popmatters).
The Sardine sound -- wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around -- is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Waller used to make: Straight-up, foot-stomping jazz. (Literally -- the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section). They manage to invoke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age. And while their roots run deep into jazz, that most American of genres, they're intertwined with French influences via their frontwoman, who was born and raised in Paris (and writes songs in both languages).
The band was born when said Parisian ("Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol) met a stride piano player (bandleader Evan "Bibs" Palazzo) at a jam session they found on Craigslist. Above a noodle shop on Manhattan's 49th Street, they discovered a mutual love for songs from the 1920s, '30s and '40s that no-one really plays anymore. Or if they play them, "they handle them with kid gloves, like pieces in a museum," says Evan, underscoring a point the pair can't stress enough: "This music isn't historical artifact. It's a living, breathing, always-evolving thing."
Members of the Sardines collective have worked with a genre-hopping roster that includes Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, Lauren Ambrose, Sondre Lerche, Vetiver, Of Montreal, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, Branford Marsalis, the New York and Jerusalem Philharmonics, Slavic Soul Party and the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra.
"Everything's kind of being rewritten. And when nothing makes sense, there's something real and satisfying about going to hear raucous jazz played in a dancehall with wooden floors and brown liquor." -- Miz Elizabeth

When I grow up and have a family of my own, this is the type of music I want my kids to listen to and learn how to dance to

[@sftraub]

Stunning! This song is very dear to my heart as my mother sang it. Sholem Segunda was my mother’s music teacher as a child. She lived in the same neighborhood as he did and she trained under him. All that clarinet and horn is pure Jewish Klezmer music and I love this rendition as it’s very close to the original vibe.

[@TeaParty1776]

There was a kLezzmer rock bhand in the 60s.

[@alex08216]

Judging by the bewildered expression on the singer’s face, did you take the “improvisation” from another song? . . . Russian

[@MSYNGWIE12]

All that MUSIC ! And tap dancing too...for those annoying "purists" - only jazz, only rock, only country, etc "dig the klezmer intro...Namaste ( what a time was had by all!)

[@peterleo9158]

Unbeatable. So talented. Wonderful musicians. That wonderful singer puts it all together. I'm 75 and only just found them . I wish it 60 yrs ago. Thank you to all of you . X

[@patbrown5753]

I've heard that when they first started out they were at a gig and due to go on when they were asked their name. They didn't have a name (!) but looked across at a stall selling "Hot Sardines". That will do !! So here they are ladies 'n gentl'men. THE HOT SARDINES .

[@peterberman5816]

I just got home from a day at the N Y Bear Mountain Red Hawk POW, all that I could hear in my head was how Great these guys were,and this song was in my heart.

[@guillearacenag]

🥁¡Ese Batero es tremendo!🙏. Con un DrumSet "minimalista", se las arregla para acompañar cada sección con variados patrones, llenos de buen gusto y sabrosamente acordes a "la voz principal" que vaya tomando protagonismo. Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱.

Ну что сказать , я джаз люблю во всем!

[@сергей-у5к5и]

у нас на улице это пели- вы несмойтесь...❤😂

[@williamlavelle7786]

81 yo here. Why they are not playing much larger venues is one more indicator that peoples taste are going downhill. What passes for music today " most country, rock and all hip hop and rap" is an insult to good taste. I won't get into the music I saw live back in the day which today is considered classic.

[@сергей-у5к5и]

вот в музыке, действительно существуют цифры, Путину скажите...❤😂

[@soloperformer5598]

"schön" is pronounced SHURN not SHANE. SHANE is a film starring Alan Ladd.

[@Chris-mf1rm]

Maybe in standard German but this is based on a Yiddish song. And there are many dialects of Yiddish. Doubt they will all use standard German pronunciation.

[@neilhales4693]

That's German, this something close but....

[@серега-л8ю7о]

без всяких примочек...

[@TeaParty1776]

I like lemon with my sardines. Maybe some Mateus

[@jarvisnelson4701]

yeah, but can you play disco? Hehe HoHo

[@rargai75]

в основе , концертная импровизация , всегда продуманна...

[@btbingo]

Klezmer version

[@be8nice]

The song originally came from the Yiddish theater, so that works.

[@rargai-ti2et]

разное завели...😮

[@rargai75]

ну как???

[@missmonasuzette]

Where on earth did the name Hot sardines come from?! I don't get it. It detracts from the talent of this wonderful group. The word STINKY comes to mind. Just being honest. There is no connection in my mind with musical talent and sardines.

[@серега-л8ю7о]

блеск...

[@rargai-ti2et]

родное завели а не разное

[@peterkuhnt1048]
