Saturday Jazz Performance - "C'est Magnifique" - The Jonny Hepbir Quintet

Here is a performance of C'est Magnifique by the Jonny Hepbir Quintet from 2015. The video's been watched over a million times on YouTube so it is nothing new, but, if you haven't seen it yet then take a watch and a listen.


C'est Magnifique was composed by Cole Porter for his 1953 musical Can-Can. In this performance, Jonny Hepbir and Jason Henson are on guitar with Dan Sheppard on bass, along with Dan Teper playing the accordion. Sara Oschlag sings.

Jonny Hepbir's group is still playing sometimes billed as the Jonny Hepbir Trio or Quartet. There are many videos available on the band's YouTube page to peruse.

They have put out a few albums La Pompe & Circumstance, Get Rich or Die Swingin', and Dirty Swing. All available from iTunes.
