TUESDAY 26^TH JANAURY

 

KUSSI WEISS QUINTET Germany.

Another premier UK performance is that of these five gifted musicians with an unusual mix of swinging instrumentals and smooth vocals, playing both traditional Gypsy songs and other popular swing numbers. Their elegant arrangements enhance the classical Gypsy repertoire, but also rejuvenate non-Gypsy songs. Behind main players Kussi Weiss and Hugo Richter pulses the unique swing-stop that is the essential element of Gypsy swing/jazz. They have all played together since childhood and it shows. Combining their unique styles with Latin American and Spanish accents, the musicians honour the great Django Reinhardt by putting his music to their original arrangements. Kussi Weiss: German Gypsy, guitar; Tschabo Franzen: German Gypsy, guitar; Hugo Richter: German Gypsy, accordion; Freddy Wicke: German, vocals, rhythm guitar; David Miles: UK, bass.

 

ABOUT KUSSI WEISS - German Gypsy, guitar Kussi hails from a family of some of the most important and famous Sinti musicians in Northern Germany. As in Gypsy musical tradition, he began playing at just 10, taught by his uncle, Maurice Weiss, and released his first CD at age 19. At just 32, he has released numerous CDs and appeared at many international festivals. A virtuoso guitarist, he offers an elegant combination of Django Reinhardt's music with modern elements. His unique guitar style captivates his listeners with its authentic, acoustic traditional Gypsy Swing, and he endears himself to his audiences with his shy and unassuming demeanor. www.myspace.com/gipsyconnectionquartette Non profit concerts and workshops
