LE QUECUMBAR GIG LIST DEC, JAN, EARLY FEB AND NEWS

GYPSY SWING STILL SWINGING LIVE AT

LONDON'S PREMIER GYPSY SWING VENUE

HOME OF LE QUECUMBAR ALLSTARS & LE Q RECORDS

The Sunday Times selected festival CD’s as one of the

Top 10 jazz albums of 2010

Le QuecumBar International Gypsy Swing Guitar Festival 2010

Le Q Records latest masterpiece and commemorative

Triple CD - LEQ0108

AVAILABLE at our online shop www.quecumbar.co.uk

Or download at linnrecords.com

A triple cd commemorative pack of recordings set over the nine night sold out festival (a first for London), that includes star soloists appearing on stage together for the first time; all passionate representatives of the essence of Gypsy swing. This pack captures the energy and passion of 34 exceptional musicians; global Gypsy players from 6 countries who united and gathered in London for one reason only, to play homage to the Gypsy guitar genius Django Reinhardt and to honour his 100th birthday.

200 minutes of sublime live highlights – bonus tracks interviews with Stochelo Rosenberg, Tcha Limberger and Biel Ballester.

Press review by Dave Gelly

The Observer, Sunday 11 July 2010

“…This triple-CD set contains some truly astounding music. The sheer virtuosity often beggars belief, but it's the inventiveness and creative abandon in the playing of such masters of the genre as Lollo Meier and Sébastien Giniaux, and especially the multi-talented Tcha Limberger, that make these performances truly remarkable. I can't say "unbelievable", because I was there when some were recorded – at London's Le QuecumBar, back in January, at the festival to celebrate Django Reinhardt's centenary – and this was exactly how it came across at the time.”

EVENING STANDARD - SIMON BROUGHTON “This was music straight from the soul, played in the perfect setting — one of London’s hidden gems”

JAZZ PREVIEW.COM “This music has deep roots, but in its soulfulness, in the versatility of its imagination and in its sheer exuberance, the ability of Gypsy swing/jazz to charm and seduce audiences remains as powerful as ever. Prepare to be enchanted! “

LONDONNET.CO.UK “the biggest collection of Gypsy Swing talent in the UK ever.”
