Howie Carlough - Fiddler Howie is a native of Bergen County, New Jersey, Howie first became interested in the violin in the late ’60 when watching a PBS special he heard American Traditional fiddling for the first time. Over the years Howie studied and learned the traditional fiddling styles traveling to the Southern Appalachians, Ireland, and Scotland. His curiosity eventually led him to Gypsy Jazz. Having no formal training he learned by way of the aural tradition, listening, watching, and playing. Howie performs internationally and has played with a broad range of artists from Jonathan Edwards to David Amram to Peter Yarrow to name a few. Howie has a reputation for intuitive playing, and a joyous infectious spirit. Along with Swing du Jour and Swing de la Nuit Howie can be seen performing with numerous bands and ensembles across Southern New England and the Hudson Valley. He is a member of the house band for the critically acclaimed Flagpole Radio Cafe.
Daniel Elias - Vocalist & Clarinet Daniel is a hardcore blues and jazz clarinet with a vocal styling akin to singers of the 1920s and 30s Blues and Jazz era. He is the grandson of Rabbi David Elias Cassorla and the son of Joe Elias, and he has been performing Ladino music since the age of 15. In 1991, he led the ensemble as it toured Spain at the invitation of the Spanish government in recognition of the 500th Anniversary of the expulsion of the Jews. He attended Binghamton University where he studied Greek clarinet and won a concerto competition.
Norman Plankey - Guitar Norman from his earliest high school bands, with drummer Kenny Aronoff and guitarist Joe Finn, Norman has been playing for over 50 years; all over the stylistic musical map from Motown covers, jug-band/homemade string band, Bluegrass/Old-Time, to working with Pete Seeger in the mid-80s. As a bandleader, he has founded/organized several bands in the swing realm - The Swingaholics (Western Swing), Norman and the Rockwellians (little big band), and Vardo Swing (electric mandolin-driven small group swing). With Swing du Jour, Norman is tackling the devilishly arduous task of rhythm guitar and providing La Pompe (the driving rhythmic pulse).
Marco Brehm - Bass Marco Behm has been a fixture on the NYC Dance scene for decades: a founding member of Brooklyn Swing Ensemble, Grand Picnic, Kaleidoscope as well as holding down the lowend of the Elias Ladino Ensemble and a full slate of Broadway events and fund/awareness raisers. A scholar of Great American Songbook standards, he is a deserved MVP for numerous projects on the international stage. We are fortunate to have him with us at La Zingara!
Van Manakas - Guitar Van Manakas studied with Pat Metheny at the Berklee College of Music, earning his B.A. in composition. He made his recording debut as a sideman with Jack Tottle on Backroad Mandolin. At 21, he was hired by Gil Evans, with whom he toured the U.S. and Europe. He released his debut album, Physical, in 1980, followed by Love Songs in 1985. In the mid-’80s, he entered into a partnership with pianist Scott Cossu that resulted in five albums before Cossu was disabled by a car accident. While playing on sessions and soundtracks, Manakas continued to make solo albums, including Letters From the Equator (1992), Mountain (1995), and American Guitar (2000).
