DCist Preview: Chaise Lounge @ IOTA
In the late ’50s and early ’60s, before The Beatles changed the face of music, there existed a highly stylized form of pop jazz that was quite popular amongst the hip and urbane at coffee shops and college campuses around the country. This sound came largely from recordings made at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, and is epitomized by the recordings of artists like Frank Sinatra and June Christy. Local ensemble Chaise Lounge aims to capture the essence of that genre.
