The Jaffa Cakes: just swing it!
Can you imagine a cover band that arranges the most famous songs in different styles and genres while keeping their "sing-along" peculiarity? THE JAFFA CAKES is an original band (since February 2016) based in Dublin. It turns world-famous songs into unique versions, mostly jazz, swing, and blues, combining post-modern flavors and different styles to create their signature sound. All the performers are Italian, they met by coincidence in Dublin and after a jam session decided to work together. Started as a standard jazz duet (piano and vocals), and they found this new way to perform almost as a joke, but given that the result was unexpectedly remarkable, they decided to leave the standard jazz project and create THE JAFFA CAKES. Just three instruments: the expert Paolo Zuddas on the drums, Grammy-nominated Dario Rodighiero on the piano and backing vocals, and bubbly performer Plinny Phoenix as lead singer. They did the first gig twenty days after their first meeting. After two months they won the battle of the bands at the famous Skull Sessions at the Sin é Pub in Dublin. The Jaffa Cakes then performed in Italy and all around Dublin: busking in the famous Grafton Street, Aviva Stadium, Blooms Festival, Polska Eire Festiva, Italian Fusion Festival, and many more. ____________________________ Riesci a immaginare una cover band che arrangia le canzoni più famose in stili e generi diversi, mantenendo comunque la loro caratteristica "sing-along"? THE JAFFA CAKES è una nuovissima band originale (nata a febbraio 2016) con sede a Dublino. Trasforma canzoni famose in tutto il mondo in versioni uniche, prevalentemente jazz, swing e blues, combinando sapori post-moderni e stili diversi per creare il loro sound distintivo. Tutti i membri sono italiani, si sono incontrati per caso a Dublino e, dopo una jam session, hanno deciso di lavorare insieme. Il progetto è iniziato come un duetto jazz standard (pianoforte e voce), e quasi per gioco hanno scoperto questo nuovo modo di esibirsi. Ma poiché il risultato si è rivelato sorprendentemente notevole, hanno deciso di abbandonare il progetto jazz standard e creare THE JAFFA CAKES. Solo tre strumenti: l'esperto Paolo Zuddas alla batteria, il candidato ai Grammy Dario Rodighiero al pianoforte e ai cori, e la vivace Plinny Phoenix come voce solista. Hanno fatto il loro primo concerto venti giorni dopo il loro primo incontro. Dopo due mesi hanno vinto la battle of the bands alle famose Skull Sessions allo Sin É Pub di Dublino. I Jaffa Cakes si sono poi esibiti in Italia e in tutta Dublino: Busking nella famosa Grafton Street, Aviva Stadium, Blooms Festival, Polska Eire Festival, Italian Fusion Festival e molti altri.
