family are some of the most important representatives of German Sinti jazz.

and performances at international festivals. The virtuoso guitarist has long
since developed his distinctive personal style, which combines in a
particularly elegant way Django's heritage with modern elements.
Babik Reinhardt, the late son Django Reinhardt was completely thrilled as he
gave the then just 22 years under the legendary Django festival in Samois-Sur-
Seine in addition to the jazz greats like Raphael Fay and Patrick Saussois saw
him play in 1996 - so excited that he took it the following year on the main
stage and ensured Kussi?s breakthrough on the international scene.
Without being able to read music, but with a lot of wit and talent he was then
soloing and founded the Kussi Weiss Quartet.
Accompanied by musicians who can follow his high level, it is the first
concerts as a band leader and takes in 1996 his first album for Idol Records

With Tschabo Franzen on guitar Hugo judge at Accodion and Piano and longtime
fellow Dietmar Osterburg - bass he has gathered three evenly matched

balancing act between style and modernity loyalty to him.
Practically from the first minute he unleashes the original quartets an
explosion of joy, virtuosity and especially rousing Swing.
PRESTIGE CONCERT Sunday 9 October, THE PAULUS SCHAFER TRIO
Paulus Sch?fer (born 1978) is today one of the most talented Gypsy Jazz
guitarists from The Netherlands. Born into a Dutch Sinti (Gypsy) community he
learned to play the guitar at a very early age. Besides listening to fellow
Sinti and records of his idol Django Reinhardt, it was Wasso Gr?nholz a
legend within the Sinti community and his nephew Stochelo Rosenberg from
whom he learned the most. After a short period of time, in which Paulus
briefly took over the lead guitar of Jimmy Rosenberg in the Gipsy Kids, he
formed the Paulus Sch?fer Gipsy Band and recorded his debut album ?Into the
Light? in 2002, followed by many concerts and numerous headlining
invitations to jazz festivals: Sziget Festival Budapest (H), Khamoro Prague
(CZ), IGGF Gossington (UK), Django Reinhardt Festival Samois-sur-Seine (FR),
Gipsy Festival Anger (FR), International Gipsyfestival (NL), Kaluga Festival
(RU), Djangofollies (BE), Djangoliberchies (BE), Djangofest (USA), Transform
Trondheim (NO), Amersfoort Jazz (NL), Haarlem Jazz (NL) to name a few.
Being a musician on high demand, Paulus is often to be found on stage with
other musicians like The Rosenberg Trio, Bir?li Lagr?ne, Stochelo Rosenberg,
Fapy Lafertin, Jimmy Rosenberg, Tim Kliphuis, Feigeli Prisor, Andreas ?berg,
Olli Soikkeli, Gonzalo Bergara, Jan Kuiper etc. and can be found on many
albums. He also recorded two more albums with his own group in 2006, ?Desert
Fire? and ?Live at the NWE Vorst? with the Paulus Sch?fer Gipsy Band and The
Tilburg Big Band. In March 2012 he released ?Twelfth Year?, in which he
guaranteed the assistance of Tim Kliphuis, Nous?che and Stochelo Rosenberg. A
few month later ?Rock Django? with the violin player Tim Kliphuis. The album
?Kouvola Junction? has been published in Finland in the same year. The start
of a successful partnership with Olli Soikkeli and Arnoud van den Berg in the
band Hot Club d?Europe. And in November 2014 the release of CD album ?Rocky?
with the accordionist Dominique Paats. Paulus also participates in projects as
?Five Great Guitars? and ?Manouche Nouveau?. Paulus has a particular sound,
easy recognized, and although all Paulus? albums are true to a distinctive
Gipsy Jazz/Swing sound; Paulus is always looking for a new modern sound. Not
only to broaden his own horizons, but also for a more representative Gipsy
Jazz sound for the 21st century.

Monday 19 September, Nell & The Hot Mess Muggers
Fusing Gypsy-swing with chanson favourites and swing standards from the 30s-
50s, Nell & The Hot Mess Muggers make their QuecumBar debut.
No stranger to hot club circles these days, Nell Greco first fell in love with
the style after Lindy Hop dancing to The Kings Cross Hot Club in secret salons
across London. Before long, she joined the group as a guest singer, began
performing with The Hot Club of Jupiter, and formed collaborations with The
Dalston Trio, and Gadjo Guitars (Aus).
Leading her Hot Mess Muggers through manouche-inspired jazz and (emotionally)
chic French numbers, Nell and her troupe of musicians not only entertain, but
also energise with their joie de vivre.
