About this event

An evening of Parisian flavoured jazz and gypsy swing…

★ ★ ★ ★ “intelligent, interesting and inventive” THE JAZZ MANN

“excellent band … diverse numbers, smart arrangements” JAZZ JOURNAL

Swing from Paris are an all-string jazz quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), inspired by the music of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s: from Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, and Artie Shaw to Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor Piazzolla.

Their Parisian-flavoured jazz and gypsy swing has been delighting audiences for over 15 years: from major jazz festivals including the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois-sur-Seine, to the BBC’s Hairy Bikers and the opening of the award-winning Gloucester Services.

Their latest recording together is I Love Paris (2024), available on vinyl, CD and digital. Expect stylish jazz and vintage swing.
