EUROPEAN DJANGO BAND
It all started with a caravan fire. A fire, towards the end of the 1920s, which, instead of killing a
young banjo player, gave him several burns and a new way to make music. A family drama, which
took Jean Reinhardt from the ashes of a gypsy camp to the great international stages. Jean,
known to all as "Django", came out of that hell without the use of one leg, the right one, and two
fingers of his left hand. Braving the serious risk of gangrene, he decided to join his little finger and
ring finger together, thus forming a sort of improvised mobile nut.
From then on, the life of this Belgian guitarist is history. A great exponent of jazz, he introduced
the rhythmic innovations of gypsy music into the traditional canons, effectively giving life to Jazz
Manouche. The Hot Club was born from the passion for this genre of jazz.
Three young musicians, all coming from different country and musical experiences, meet with the
intention of undertaking an innovative path in the footsteps of their masters. Their repertoire
includes songs that start from the Manouche tradition up to the most recent evolutions, making us
breathe a 1930s atmosphere infected by modern, vivid, new elements.

MARIA PASCUAL & THE KIND OF GyPSies
The project was born out of a meeting at the Django Festival between Barcelona singer Maria Pascual and Turin guitarist Giangiacomo Rosso.
Giangiacomo and his trio, Kind of Gypsies, with Pippi Dimonte on double bass and Mathieu Chatelain on rhythm guitar, have gypsy rhythm in their blood.As for Maria, she enhances everything with her gentle voice, steeped in the heritage of the great jazz singers. A few boleros and other Latin rhythms are a reminder of their Mediterranean origins, in a clever blend of improvisation and scat...
They were the winners of the Django Reinhardt festival springboard, where they performed on the main stage. So next year they'll be hitting the road to play some of Europe's leading festivals.During these months, they will also begin recording their first album in the studio.
Musicians:
Maria Pascual - Voice
Giangiacomo Rosso - Solo Guitar

Giangiacomo ROsso Quartet

‘Kind Of Gipsy’ is the name of the first released album. Their
repertoire also includes several original compositions
and songs from the Italian musical tradition. An
explosive mix of jazz, swing, melodies and virtuosity
that will leave you breathless.

Hot club ëd turin
The Hot Club ëd Turin is intended as a tribute to the legendary quintet that kick-started European jazz: the Hot Club de France. The historic groupled by the guitar of Django Reinhardt and the violin of StephaneGrappelli with whom the overwhelming swing rhythm was made to resonate through thestring instruments alone. Guitars, the violin and the double bass. It is precisely withthe intention of reviving those iconic acoustic sounds that made theand which, almost a century later, still arouse wonder and amazement.astonishment that this project took shape. With this group Giangiacomo Rosso - a reference point for manouche guitar in Turin and protagonist of several other projects in the world of jazz - has landed in there discovery of the purest stylistic and sonic vocabulary of Django Reihardt. With this spirit and thanks to favourable encounters, the Turinese guitarist has thus put together a line-up from which the right synergy, the right flair, the right right flair, the right gheddu as the Turinese would say.At the foundation is the trusty Michele Millesimo on double bass, already a faithful companion of a thousand adventures with Giangiacomo Rosso. At the rhythmicguitars Manuel Baudino and Andrea Bottelli, the latter a veteran of the genre andaccustomed to making people dance to the rhythm of swing with the vintage soundsof the Harlem Swing Society. Finally Stefano Ivaldi, or should we say Stephane, son of art and exceptional soloist, who in this context with courage and passion pursues to the full a purely jazz language applied to the violin.
