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 the cafés and cabarets of Montmartre to Artie
Shaw, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor
Piazzolla.
Known for
their tight ensemble sound and virtuosic performances, the group brings a
distinctive Parisian flair to vintage jazz and stylish swing. They have
performed at major UK and European festivals, including the renowned Django
Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine, and appearances range from BBC TV and
radio to the French Embassy at Kensington Palace.
Their latest
recording together is I Love Paris (2024), available on vinyl, CD and
digital.
