55. Gypsy Jazz Jam Session mit Les Ducs de la Pompe

In the organizer's words:

Our guests from Bonn, the "Les Ducs de la Pompe", will play a small opener concert for you from 7 pm, after which individual musicians can join in on acoustic instruments. The INSWINGTIEF quartet will of course also be on hand.

For those who want to practise a little: Ouropener pieces this time are:

• Bossa Dorado (in Dm)
• Out of nowhere (in G)
• Swing 42 (in C)

Les Ducs - French for The Dukes - the pump? We are, so to speak, the "Sultans of Swing" translated into gypsy jazz. "La Pompe" is the rhythm beat that gives pieces like "Minor Swing" or "Artillerie Lourde" their typical gypsy sound. We also play hits such as "Sweet Sue" or "Hallo Kleines Fräulein", also in La Pompe style. For quieter moments, ballads by Django Reinhardt are on the program, e.g. "Anouman" or "Nuages". We also play more modern pieces from the "Manouche" scene, "Place Du Tertre" by Biréli Lagrène or "Paquito" by Ninine Garcia. In the "Gipsy Bossa" section, there are representatives such as "Bossa Dorado" by Dorado Schmitt or "Made for Wesley". Standards such as "All of Me" or "Sway" are also included. Purely acoustic, stimulating but not intrusive; to listen to or to sway along to - a somewhat different program for a good occasion. www.les-ducs-de-la-pompe.de
