Swing From Paris

Swing from Paris: An evening of Parisian-flavoured jazz and Gypsy Swing

Swing from Paris are an all-string jazz quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), archtop guitar (Andy Bowen), Selmer-style guitar (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.
