Downloads at www.linnrecords.com and Itunes product

outlets.
Over 200 minutes of sublime live highlights set over eight nights –
bonus tracks interviews with Stochelo Rosenberg,
It takes more than people
and money to bring to fruition a festival such as this. As Le QuecumBar was
created with a dream, so was the festival. After a bottle of wine in June 2009,
with Django’s 100th birthday just around the corner, the decision was made, the
ball started rolling and the people who believed the dream, helped make it
happen.
The live festival
recordings produced this commemorative triple CD that captures all the
atmosphere of the nine sold-out nights. The atmosphere was electric, the music
sublime. These recordings encapsulate the essence of the festival, its
music and performers, with all the tracks chosen by the musicians themselves.
Some of the evenings’ introductions and interviews have also been included, so
that you might close your eyes, get closer to the musicians, and imagine what it
was like on those exciting nights...
If you are new to this
music then listen and be captivated, then keep on swinging. If you ever
get a chance to see these artists live, go and support them. Nothing beats the
live experience and every performer on those CD’s is worth the effort to
see.

ONE NIGHT
ONLY - HOT GYPSY SWING FROM
paulus schäfer trio
This Schafer
family trio is led by: Paulus Schäfer (lead guitar), Noah Schäfer (double bass)
and Sendelo Schäfer (rhythm guitar). Like many Gypsy musicians, the Paulus
Schäfer Trio is influenced by the legacy of Django Reinhardt’s “Hot Club de
France”, but dares to look beyond. Having their roots in the Dutch Sinti
community they manage to keep the characteristic sound and mastery of the style,
always justified by the arrangements and virtuosity of Paulus Schäfer whose
improvisations are very clear and evident, telling their own tales always
searching for new horizons. It is not just Not only Paulus’ superb
guitar-playing that justifies the success of this band but also Sendelo
Schäfer’s butter-soft attack on his rhythm guitar and the gifted Noah Schäfer,
the youngest, and a musical talent who effortlessly supports the fastest and
most complex rhythms and a major contributor to the characteristic sound of this
trio. www.paulusschafer.nl

Clarinet/sax, Murray Salmon on Bass and Paul Jaysinghe on Trumpet make up the
guys. With a backdrop of the comic and brutal Jewish underworld in both cities;
the environment is coloured by the presence of Gershwin, Kern , Irving Berlin,
