Swing Manouche

Swing Manouche are based upon Django Reinhardt's second group; the Nouveau Quintette du Hot Club de France. Giving a slightly harder and more modern edge to the music than his previous ensemble, ‘Djangologie’

A hard swinging gypsy jazz outfit, authentic originals are still very much a main ingredient but Swing Manouche are as likely to take from more modern gypsy players as well as Django and traditional musette.

They have been featured on the world famous ‘Django Festival’ series of albums on Hot Club Records and have served as the backing band for the renowned French violinist Daniel John Martin.
