GYPSY SWING STILL SWINGING LIVE AT


LONDON'S PREMIER GYPSY SWING VENUE

HOME OF LE QUECUMBAR ALLSTARS & LE Q RECORDS

LE QUECUMBAR TRIPLE 2010 FESTIVAL ALBUM Clive Davis of The Sunday Times voted it one of the Top 10 jazz albums of 2010 Video highlights of the festival www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OYY-GZVhqk
Download at Linnrecords.com buy on www.quecumbar.co.uk Le Q Records latest masterpiece and commemorative Triple CD - AVAILABLE for download at linnrecords.com 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.?
