 UK Manouche Jazz Swing Club Groups
‘Jazz Manouche’, ‘Gypsy Swing’, ‘Hot Club
de Paris’ – whatever you prefer to call it – is the romantic,
swinging style of jazz started in pre-war Paris by the Belgian
guitar genius Django Reinhardt. Come and experience a great
evening of atmospheric Gypsy Jazz, with a Hot Club style Quintette followed by an
open jam session.
The house band – will kick the evening off at 8.00pm. Other musicians are welcome
to join in later on, in the great tradition of gypsy jazz, until
late in the evening. Just turn-up and play – or sit back and
enjoy the show. Modest entry charge may apply.
Where like minded Manoucheries can congregate and exchange
ideas.

Club Django

An interview and recording from Cookham FM featuring Malcolm Greenhalgh (Aka
Monty), Rhythm, John Kitchen Lead, and Ben Rothman
Violin passed to Jazz Eddie
from the Club indicates a fair degree of expertise as performers. Ben got hooked on the Hot Club as a Teenager and John has elevated from the
blues to manouche swing.
The Club was inspired by Ian Cruickshank's 'Django's Legacy' Film

Objectives of Club Django
-
 To meet other players of Gypsy Jazz on a regular basis, to play the
music of 'The Hot Club of France.'
- To further our understanding and playing of the Gypsy Jazz genre.
- To play gigs at local community/charity functions as a 'Club Django' on
a no-fee charity basis.
- To accept paying gigs, as and when available.
- To invite the best professional players for 'Masterclass' evenings.
- 8-12 Members meet regularly for exchanges of ideas.
The first Masterclass was in February 2006 was with Dave Kelbie, who plays
rhythm for Lollo Mier, Angelo Debarre, John Etheridge,
Fapy Lafetane and the
great Birelli Legrane.
(The Gypsy's all start out playing rhythm and so
students should concentrate on this aspect.)
More Classes are planned throughout the year.

Any players out there come on down from 7 pm onwards .
Make your presence known (wave instrument cases in our general direction), & I’m
sure we can rustle up an All of Me in C…Any spectators out there, it’s a nice
place, lots of continental beers, £10 a bottle of house wine, plenty of space –
its ok to just come down for a drink – ordering food is not a pre-requisite but
highly recommended the chefs are wonderful and the food delightful. We’re aiming
for a gentle relaxed atmosphere, there’s enough room to sit near the band &
listen properly, or sit away from the band & chat to friends. It’s all good.
