FiddleBop plays "Gypsy jazz: re-imagined for the 2020s" at Babar Cafe-Bar (FREE ENTRY)!
FiddleBop's jazz... well, it features violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, and fretless bass, plus four voices in harmony. It is sophisticated but not pretentious or stuffy, is danceable but not rhythmically boring, has plenty of go-for-it improvised solos but is still tuneful and melodic.And, like the first Gypsy jazz bands, FiddleBop’s ‘Gypsy jazz: re-imagined’ is highly eclectic. Expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of jazz’s century-long history. That’s get-up-and-dance jazz from the 1920s, 1930s chilli-hot swing, and cool post-bop. Plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the band’s own creations. All played and sung with Gypsy zing and passion!
Jo Davies plays Spanish guitar and sings: she’s the rhythmic foundation of FiddleBop. Dave Favis-Mortlock is on violin and vocals, Paul Stevens is FiddleBop’s keyboard whiz, rhythmic, blues-soaked, and soulful. And Graeme Lamble is FiddleBop’s fretless bassist extraordinaire.
FiddleBop's festival appearances this year include HowTheLightGetsIn at Hay-on-Wye, Upton Jazz Festival, Landed Festival, Brecon Jazz Festival, and Cwmaman Music Festival.
