About
The UK’s leading Gypsy Swing ensemble Trio Manouche will be performing inspired re-worked classics of the great Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt together with highly atmospheric arrangements of trad swing greats such as Nat King Cole. During the evening the band will also be including numbers from their much feted new album “The Isolation Sessions” penned by band leader Simon Harris.
Trio Manouche are one of the foremost exponents of Gypsy Swing Jazz, bringing a unique and highly contemporary twist to this ever more popular genre. For this special festive show Simon is joined by guitarist Giulio Romano and bassist Marcus Penrose with some Xmas surprises along the way. They have performed in top jazz venues in the UK and abroad, playing major festivals such as the EFG London Jazz Festival, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, The Mostly Jazz Festival and the 2020 Chiswick Festival. “Trio Manouche are a class act. Great soulful swing delivered with wry humour …..” – Suzy Klein BBC Radio 3. “Excellent, I was hooked after just 8 bars….your band swings beautifully ….” - Sting. ...
