Le QuecumBar International Gypsy Swing Guitar Festival 2010
LEQ0108
celebrating to 100th Birthday of Django Reinhardt
200 minutes of sublime live highlights - bonus tracks interviews with
Stochelo Rosenberg, Tcha Limberger and Biel Ballester.
A
triple cd commemorative pack of recordings set over the nine night sold out
festival (a first for London), that includes star soloists appearing on stage
together for the first time; all passionate representatives of the essence of
Gypsy swing. This pack captures the energy and passion of 34 exceptional
musicians; global Gypsy players from 6 countries who united and gathered in
London for one reason only, to play homage to the Gypsy guitar genius Django
Reinhardt and to honour his 100th birthday.
Press
review by Dave Gelly The Observer, Sunday
11 July 2010
"?This
triple-CD set contains some truly astounding music. The sheer virtuosity often
beggars belief, but it's the inventiveness and creative abandon in the playing
of such masters of the genre as Lollo Meier and S?bastien Giniaux, and
especially the multi-talented Tcha Limberger, that make these performances
truly remarkable. I can't say "unbelievable", because I was there
when some were recorded - at London's Le QuecumBar, back in January, at the
festival to celebrate Django Reinhardt's centenary - and this was exactly how
it came across at the time."
SONGLINES - SIMON BROUGHTON "This was music
straight from the soul, played in the perfect setting ? one of London's hidden
gems"
JAZZ
PREVIEW.COM "This music has
deep roots, but in its soulfulness, in the versatility of its imagination and
in its sheer exuberance, the ability of Gypsy swing/jazz to charm and seduce
audiences remains as powerful as ever. Prepare to be enchanted! "
LONDONNET.CO.UK "the biggest
collection of Gypsy Swing talent in the UK ever."

The Bevin Boys are a 1940s style swing band whose
authentic period sound (and look!) is gaining them an excellent reputation with
dancers and listeners like.
THE BEVIN BOYS
No ordinary trio, don't expect a ?jam session' of
the usual jazz standards - this band specialises in cleverly arranged
orchestrations which create an almost big band sound.
Nat King Cole, Louis Prima, Louis Jordan and Billy
Eckstine tunes are given a fresh treatment by this talented vout-o-reenee trio!
Expect some Great American songbook and some lesser know tunes in a sing-along,
relaxed swingin' style.
The band is due to appear a various WWII, Lindyhop and
Jazz festivals throughout the year, so why not catch the boys while they're in
town? Visit www.bevinboys.com to see what the buzz is about.

With
their debut album just released Les Effront?s are playing their first gig at

been regularly performing classic French chansons combined with American jazz
standards via Tom Waits in some of the city's hippest bars and clubs. From the

Nightjar, to the raucous mayhem of their legendary nights at The King's Head,
Les Effront?s have been producing truly unforgettable evenings out.
