The Shanghai Woolies are an eight-member band led by Gavin Bondy (of Pink Martini fame.) They play hot music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Paul Whiteman, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Harry James, and others. With a variety of moods, they break conventions as they tromp through the rebellious, inventive, mysterious, and scandalous sounds of the twenties; the exciting, romantic, and colorful sounds of the thirties; and the energetic and beautiful sounds of the forties, From a purist yet postmodern viewpoint, the Shanghai Woolies combine both traditional and new elements to conjure the flavors of the original idea for an extremely diverse audience. Care to dance? A Charleston, perhaps?
