Viva the band has been requested once again for their 3rd year to perform at the festival. Their international repertoire of jazz and swing performed in a gypsy Jazz style plus: French, Spanish Cuban, Russian Latin, salsa and classic feature tunes are a delightful adjunct to the many forms of jazz and blues performed at the festival.
