Jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grapelli with some of the finest Belgian musicians in this style Django Reinhardt changed the swing jazz scene in its early years. Together with Stephane Grapelli he gave its own definition to hot jazz, now mostly referred to as Gypsy Jazz or Jazz Manouche. Today, the genre is played and adored worldwide. But also in Belgium, where Django is born and started his path.
Sam Op de Beeck (Leuven, Belgium) is a rhythm guitarist since many years and has played all over Europe with various Gypsy Jazz ensembles.
For this concert he brought together some very talented musicians from all the corners of the country, to bring you hot swing jazz influenced by Reinhardt & Grapelli from the 40's & 50's.
