Often described as ‘the finest gypsy jazz in the Cotswolds’, Swing from Paris are a UK quartet of violin, two guitars and double bass. Inspired by the great swing bands of the 1930s and 40s, they present their own versions of music by Gershwin, Piazzolla, John Lewis, Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Founder member Fenner Curtis is a classically-trained violinist based in Cheltenham. Struck by the music of Django Reinhardt at a young age - when his local youth orchestra desk partner gave him a cassette of Stéphane Grappelli - he has been hooked ever since. Guitarist Andy Bowen takes inspiration from the great jazz guitarists of the 30s and 40s, chiefly Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian and George Barnes. He has a jazz guitar YouTube channel and splits his time between performing with ‘Swing from Paris’ and ‘Moscow Drug Club'.
