Club d'Elf: You Never Know
by Chris M. Slawecki

Club d'Elf: Night Sparkles
by Doug Collette

Club d'Elf: Night Sparkles
by Karl Ackermann
For the Boston, Massachusetts-based Club d'Elf, the boundaries are long gone; they may never have been there to start with. Almost twenty years ago, the group debuted with Live at The Lizard Lounge (Grapeshot Media, 2000), an amalgam of jazz, electronica, hip hop, and funk. At times, the group (always a fluid entity) has included accordion, ...
