JELLY ROLL PRODUCTIONS
Jelly Roll Productions is a not for profit organization committed to cultivating both Lindy Hop and live jazz by providing high quality dance events at affordable costs. Our ultimate goal is to reunite the music, the people and the dance, just like it was when it all began. Through this convergence, we strive to make great live jazz music accessible to dancers, and introduce (or reintroduce) more jazz artists to the unique creative outlet of playing for dancers. Jelly Roll Productions is dedicated to using the synergy of these two exciting art forms to increase the general interest and appreciation of jazz music and Lindy Hop.
Our goal is to continue to reach out to the jazz community and promote greater awareness to the joy that Swing and jazz brings to all. Our website is dedicated to thanking all the musicians who have played for us and to providing information about our events to dancers and jazz enthusiasts alike. Being a New York City based organization, we make it our priority to host dance events that tap into the musical talent that this jazz capital has in store, and promote public awareness of Lindy Hop in the city where it all began. As we gain national recognition, we will hope to create more opportunities such as The Basie Centennial Ball.

THE CANGELOSI CARDS
One of New Yorks hardest working bands- When you hear them, you will understand. Simply the music makes people happy! “The Cangelosi Cards are one of the best bands I’ve seen anywhere. They have a great live show, perfect for dancing! I envy any one who has not yet seen them because you now have the chance to see them for the first time! They keep it strictly real, playing traditional New Orleans style jazz, but continue to see it as a living tradition- and as such bring in influences from outside the cannon, such as country, blues, and early popular music. The level of musicianship is brilliant, bring your dancing shoes.”
- Eli Smith Producer/Host Down Home Radio. Jake Sanders leads the band and Tamar Korn is on vocals.
