Bir

Biréli Lagrène was born on September 4, 1966, in Soufflenheim, (Bas-Rhin) in a traditional gypsy family and community. He started playing the guitar at the age of four. When, at the age of eight, he covered Django Reinhardt’s repertoire, his relatives were already calling him a child prodigy. Winning a gypsy music festival (in Strasbourg) at the age of twelve gave him the opportunity to tour in Germany and, later, to record his live performance on the double LP Route to Django.

Gaucho

Gaucho, a gypsy jazz sextet, was formed in 2002. The lineup consists of Dave Ricketts & Michael Groh on guitars, Ari Munkres on standup bass, Rob Reich on accordion, Ralph Carney on horns and Pete Devine on drums & percussion. On occasion, guest artists bring their own spice to the mix. While we base much of our repertoire in the music of Django Reinhardt and the gypsy jazz of 1930s Europe, we also find inspiration in the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music and the "gut bucket" sound.

Romane

Romane, whose real name Patrick Leguidecoq, is a jazz guitarist born in Paris in 1959. He plays in a style reminiscent of Django Reinhardt. However, this has not prevented him from composing rich & personal songs. His discography is also illustrated by a desire not to stay stuck in a style or theme, but to try to move forward, whether by choice of musicians, or instruments. He also varies band formations, the duo to sextet: examples of the group Django Vision and the Roman Acoustic Quartet.

Double Entendre

Sounding like a pack of untamed gypsies singin', pickin', screamin' and skankin' with flailing limbs to a grinding Balkan barbershop-doof-quartet at a drunken barnyard rasta hoedown, Double Entendre's high-energy trademark style of "GypRock" shakes stirs and blends genres of world music, gypsy jazz and roots into their own intoxicatingly dancy original concoction. With unshakable vibe and a strong, healthy pulse, these vagabonds from WA's alternative capital of Fremantle jam-pack a double-bass, drums...
