Join us for a night of amazing music the south-west’s favourite gypsy jazz and hot swing band who have a well-earned reputation for its take on the ‘Hot Club’ style, toe-tapping rhythms and soaring melodies that combine a virtuoso performance of gypsy favourites, jazz standards, soulful ballads and Latin swing.
The heartfelt wail of the blues; the sultry heat of the campfire; the crazy swirl of the bal musette,
all fused together with virtuosity and passion in the melting pot of 1930’s Paris: the result was gypsy jazz. ‘LA VIE EN ROSE’ play this exuberant, toe-tapping music with a swing and joie-de-vivre as fresh today as when Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli first conjured it from the back streets of Pigalle.
