The Violet Jive
The Violet Jive are a U.K based trio comprised of Guitar/Vocals, Double bass & Drums. A swing sound with feverish latino edges and a cool dark alternative twist! Somewhere between The Jungle Book, Wes Montgomery, Soundgarden and Portishead...perhaps? Not content with either the often self indulgent face of modern jazz or mundane, uninspiring indie/rock band clones, but a lover of that 50's swing sound, grungy guitar riffs, Trip-Hop/Hip-Hop beats, latin flavours, spontaneous musicality and 'proper songs', Steve Spall (Guitar/Vocals) began creating as THE VIOLET JIVE.

Buena Vista Social Club

In the late 1990s Wim Wenders made a movie upon the initiative of Ry Cooder called "The Buena Vista Social Club." Wenders film centered on Ry Cooder's efforts to find and reunite some of the musicians who had performed at the long closed club. The film also portrays sessions from the production of the album released in 1997 also titled Buena Vista Social Club. Both movie and album were highly successful, and expanded the reach of Cuban music around the world.
