Alex Hand Band: A Balkan Jazz Quartet

With a setlist that ranges from Bulgarian wedding tunes to hot club jazz, the Alex Hand Band mines the common ground between swing and Eastern European folk dance music–the soundtrack of Western music moving across Balkan borders and being changed by European village music.

Featuring:
Alex Hand – guitar
Kevin Gerzevitz – keys, accordion
Gabe Case – bass
Valentino – percussion

Alex Hand, who has traveled to the Balkans to study folk music, is involved with various projects in the Bay Area’s Balkan and jazz manouche scenes, including Istanbul Connection. He holds a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar performance from the University of Nevada.
