| According to the customs of the modern jazz manouche ensambles, as already in the classic Hot Club Quintet tradition, Alma Swing makes a show based on a wide repertory. This comes from Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli's favourites and from Brodway musicals songs of '30 and '40, passing through New Orleans traditional jazz standards and the french chansone. It also includes the repertory of the new generation performers and some original pieces by Alma Swing. Paying attention to the contemporary rebirth of this amazing page of the jazz history, Alma Swing evokes a cultural scenery which has influenced the closest past time and which had a certain incidence on the modern european sensibility. |
