The Bailsmen | The Belfry | NYC

Article Contributed by Shannon Clark | Published on Friday, March 2, 2018

The Bailsmen brought their vintage swing to The Belfry on Wednesday evening, adding upbeat jazz tempo to the already-lively bar. Drawing on the sounds of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday, the band combines a Louisiana-style big-band sound with soft, raspy-voiced jazz. The result is an ambiance that makes the audience feel like they’ve been transported to an intimate New Orleans show.

The quartet just recorded their second album, “Le Mensch” and will be taking their music on tour, predominantly across the south to places such as North Carolina, Virginia, and New Orleans.

Since its inception in 2011, the band has gained quite the following throughout the New York area. The quartet appears at The Belfry every Wednesday evening, and also frequents Dante’s every Friday afternoon.
