Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
Swing from Paris are an all-string jazz quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), inspired by the music of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s: from the cafés and cabarets of Montmartre to Artie Shaw, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor Piazzolla.
The group’s Parisian-flavoured jazz and vintage swing has been delighting audiences for almost 20 years: from major jazz festivals including the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois-sur-Seine, to being invited to perform at the French Ambassador’s residence for Bastille Day.
