Laissez-Foure is really the life of the party! Without them, it might just be another dinner venue. With them, Speakeasy Kitchen is transformed into a fantastic event, with swinging music that is perfect to keep the up-beat energy going.

Laissez Foure is an acoustic swing quartet playing classics from the 30s and 40s. The group consists of acoustic bass, swing rhythm guitar, saxophone/clarinet, and trumpet. In the tradition of New Orleans jazz, the quartet emphasizes an acoustic sound when feasible and plays charts by Armstrong, Ellington, Count Basie and others from the era.
