Jazz Manouche with Adam Russo

  • Music
  • Entertainment

Listen to Melbourne musician Adam Russo perform jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) in the style of 1930s guitarists Django Reinhardt and Eddie Langhis in solo guitar format on his 1946 Gibson ES-300.

Russo has been quietly carving out a niche as a gifted rhythm guitarist and banjo player in the city’s thriving traditional jazz scene over the last decade.

Enjoy a glass or two of exceptional vintage wine, with tapas and share plates available, in the luxe surroundings of Melbourne's oldest hidden cellar, while listening to jazz.

Your ticket includes $30 credit towards food and drinks.
