宁波音乐厅：摇摆爵士音乐会
A Gypsy Jazz band in Ningbo ? Yes, this city is offering more and more foreign bands. After B.Connected, the jazz fusion band that came last week, it was last night Swing Strings also from Switzerland that came on stage to charm our ears. Swing Strings is composed of 4 musicians. Urs and Georges are playing the violin, Fulvio the guitar and Peter the double bass. Swing Strings is playing all the famous tunes that were played in the 1930s by guitar legend Django Reinhardt. Django's most famous group, the "Quintette du Hot Club de France", also brought fame to jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli. Swing Strings perpetrates the style interpreting standards like "Nuages", "Caravan", Minor Swing", "All of me" and so many other famous pieces. The Gypsy Jazz is still pretty alive in Europe with famous artists like Didier Lockwood, Birelli Lagrene, Raphael Fays, the Ferre family and lots of other talented bands like Swing Strings. The audience was very enthusiastic and we hope to see Swing Strings back in Ningbo !
