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."

HAMER & ISAACS
It's a long, long while from May to December, but before
the days dwindle down, and the autumn leaves of red and gold start to fall, why
not dine, dance and unravel the Mystery Pacific to some lusciously louche
Manouche. Imagine for a moment that le boeuf has found its way down off le Toit
and across La Manche to graze the Battersea grasses: combine an emancipated and
updated HCQ style rhythm section with locomotive lead and voluptuous violin,
then anoint it with the delicious de-lovely vocals of Miss Rosie Corlett (think
Eartha meets Ella in Montmartre). The Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may
crumble, but Hamer & Isaacs Gypsy Swing Band are here to stay!

THE BEVIN BOYS
The Bevin Boys are a 1940s style swing band whose
authentic period sound (and look!) is gaining them an excellent reputation with

No ordinary trio, don't expect a ?jam session' of

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 at Twinwood and various WWII,
Lindyhop and Jazz festivals throughout the year, so why not catch the boys
while they're in town? Visit www.bevinboys.com see what the buzz is about!

At 6 Tchavolo was introduced to the guitar by his mother;
his father played violin. He developed his virtuosity in the Manouche
style and his renown rapidly exceeded the limits of Alsace, his home. He is
known around the globe for his extraordinary talent as a player teacher, band
leader and composer. In 1979, he became a professional musician, and
returned to his Alsatian roots, and joined the band "Hot Club da
Sinti". Martin Limbergers musical pedigree is well known in the
