Jazz Manouche
Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz) is the name typically given to music at the intersection of Jazz and the traditional music of Eastern and Central Europe.
Shades of Blue, in collaboration with Vesper Productions, works with two partner orchestras, specialists in this magnificent music.
The band Anouman – Jazz Manouche
Under the direction of, Jean-Philippe Watremez, one of the leading Jazz Manouche guitarists in France, « Anouman » thrills admirers of this special genre.
Jean-Philippe plays in the pure tradition of Django Reinhard, one might even say he « wrote the book » on modern Jazz Manouche. He has transcribed all 81 themes and melodies of the legendary guitarist in what is widely considered to be the book of reference for today’s Jazz Manouche musicians: Django Reinhardt – The ultimate Django’s book du Jazz Manouche.
« Anouman » will electrify your event and can be hired as a duo, trio or quartet. A highly recommended experience for lovers of Jazz Manouche.
