Exotica Tribute to Dizzy Gillespie with Skip Heller’s Voodoo 5 Step into a moonlit world of tropical jazz, tiki-lounge glamour, and mid-century musical imagination as Skip Heller’s Voodoo 5 presents Exotica Tribute to Dizzy Gillespie. This is not your average jazz tribute. This is Dizzy reimagined through the lush, cinematic lens of exotica: shimmering vibes, hypnotic Latin rhythms, dreamy steel guitar textures, island mystery, and the sophisticated swing of a vintage cocktail lounge. Think jazz club meets tropical paradise—where bebop brilliance drifts through bamboo shadows, glowing lanterns, and the sound of faraway places. Led by guitarist, composer, producer, and bandleader Skip Heller, Voodoo 5 brings a deeply stylish and highly musical approach to the exotica tradition. Heller is known for his wide-ranging work across jazz, roots music, rockabilly, country, soundtrack music, and vintage-inspired lounge sounds. A true musical historian and craftsman, he has built a career exploring the rich corners of American music while bringing fresh life to classic styles. Skip Heller’s Voodoo 5 captures the golden-age exotica spirit with a modern, masterful band sound. Featuring lush arrangements, exotic percussion, evocative melodies, and the sultry vocal presence of Lena Marie Cardinale, the group channels the world of Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, and classic hi-fi lounge records—while giving the music its own bold, contemporary edge. For this special performance, the band pays tribute to the legendary Dizzy Gillespie, one of jazz’s most electrifying innovators. Known for his unmistakable trumpet sound, puffed-cheek playing style, Afro-Cuban influence, and bebop genius, Dizzy helped change the course of jazz forever. In the hands of Voodoo 5, his musical legacy becomes a transportive exotica journey filled with rhythm, color, style, and imagination. Expect an evening of world-class musicianship, vintage atmosphere, tropical elegance, and jazz adventure. Whether you are a serious jazz fan, a tiki culture devotee, a lover of mid-century lounge, or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind night out, Exotica Tribute to Dizzy Gillespie is designed to sweep you away.
