A favorite at the prestigious Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, Sidewalk Cafe does not take Parisian swing lightly. Each player, intense and unique in his own right, deeply involves audiences with true improvisational prowess. The band's point of departure is French Gypsy jazz of the 1930's and its companion form, the musette. But here are distinctly American players, all three with singular sound and approach in performances that are anything but traditional Hot Club.
The group started with a desire by guitarist Philipsek and violinist Schulte to be more expressive and creative within the Gypsy jazz genre than past projects had allowed. The addition of bassist Brueske's deeply-felt groove completed a perfect trio where such aspirations could come to fruition. The resulting music is joyous, swinging, strutting, riveting, melodic, and totally in the moment. Jeremy Walker, former Dakota curator said it well: "Sidewalk Cafe is a hard-swinging group that plays with bravado and passion that transcends the genre and captures its fundamental appeal and excitement."
