Swing from Paris Christmas Special: an evening of Parisian-flavoured music and cosy festive jazz

★ ★ ★ ★ “intelligent, interesting and inventive” THE JAZZ MANN
“excellent band…diverse numbers, smart arrangements" JAZZ JOURNAL

Swing from Paris are an all-string jazz quartet of violin, guitars and double bass, 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 at Samois-sur-Seine, and appearances range from BBC TV and radio to the French Embassy at Kensington Palace.

You’ll also hear some cosy classic Christmas jazz numbers, arranged specially for this festive special to get you in the holiday spirit!
