All aboard Mama Train on February 7 for an evening that whisks you back to the Jazz Age. This captivating jazz combo, led by a vintage-voiced chanteuse and a stride-style pianist, “celebrates the spirit of the Jazz Age with rich female vocals and dynamic, expressive piano”. Inspired by legends like Billie Holiday and Django Reinhardt, Mama Train performs jazz and blues classics from the 1920s through 1950s, infusing each song with retro flair and modern verve. Close your eyes and you might imagine yourself in a smoky Harlem speakeasy or a Parisian café – the band’s soulful melodies and hot club rhythms truly transport listeners to another era. “A small act with a big vintage sound,” as one concert series described them, Mama Train delivers sultry ballads, snappy swing numbers, and playful blues with equal aplomb.What makes a Mama Train show special is the palpable joy and vibrant energy they bring to the stage. The group’s “lively instrumentation” – from tinkling ivories to gypsy-jazz guitar runs – “resonates with every audience”, and their performances “always bring [listeners] back with a modern-day vibe” after the time-traveling tunes. Whether they’re channeling the tender ache of a Billie Holiday torch song or the toe-tapping pep of a Django-inspired swing, Mama Train keeps things accessible and upbeat. Expect to hum along to familiar standards and maybe even dance in your seat as this band invites young and old to revel in the golden era of jazz.
