Duke of George presents

Dirty Jazz

Jessie Gordon is no stranger to the darker side of jazz. Join her for a thrilling speakeasy adventure featuring the filthiest of vintage tunes. Jessie delves into the dark corners of the pop music of the 1930s & 40s, exploring the dirty lyrics and double meanings hidden in this classic genre. 

Who knew your great grandparents had such filthy minds, or perhaps they really were innocently just singing along to songs about large fruits, honey pots, keyholes and other inanimate objects. 

Jessie is joined by a full band of boisterous musicians for your rip-roaring  musical pleasure, where there are more filthy songs about drinking, thinking and fine dining than you can poke a stick at, and none of them are safe for regular consumption. 

There are songs for the swooning moonshiners, those inclined to wine, those frisky for whisky and some odes to our favourite friends, those tenders of the bar. In the dark, dingy corners and smokey recesses of the Golden Era of Swing, there are songs to address your every desire, there is room for all your dirty deeds and time for you to unwind with a refined beverage.
