Songs of the Jazz Age

The Colin Perry Quintet performs rare and familiar songs from the 1920s and 30s. Their music is strongly rooted in tradition, but always spontaneous and original. With thousands of performances over the last 28 years, the group has developed a deep rapport and the ability to "finish each other's sentences".
