Event Description

The Joey Sharma Band, resident in Bangalore are exponents of Jazz Manouche (also known as gypsy swing, jazz manouche or hot club-style jazz). It is a style of small-group jazz originating from the Romani guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt (1910–53), in conjunction with the French swing violinist Stéphane Grappelli (1908–97), as expressed in their group the Quintette du Hot Club de France. The Joey Sharma.Band are participants in the resurgence of Django's Reinhardt's approach to jazz. Their driving acoustic sound combines virtuosic skill, joyous up-tempo swing and slow burning ballads into an immersive experience like no other. About Django Reinhardt & Jazz Manouche Because its origins are in France, Reinhardt was from the Manouche (French Sinti) clan and foremost among a group of Romani guitarists working in Paris from the 1930s to the 1950s. Reinhardt is universally recognized as the most outstanding improviser among them, as well as the originator (from around 1934 onward) of the style of "hot" guitar playing now generally considered the archetype of "gypsy jazz" guitar. Immediately after the Second World War jazz manouche fell out of favour as the "swing era" came to an end, being replaced in its homeland by bebop, mainstream jazz, and eventually, rock and roll
