FiddleBop play "Gypsy jazz: re-imagined"! Violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, fretless bass, and four voices in harmony.
Is danceable but not rhythmically boring. Has plenty of exciting improvised solos but is still tuneful and melodic. And — like the first Gypsy jazz bands — FiddleBop's "Gypsy jazz: re-imagined" is highly eclectic. Just as in the 1930s, the Quintette du Hot Club de France created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some J S Bach... so FiddleBop's repertoire is similarly wide-ranging. We play Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre'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 our own creations. All played and sung with Gypsy zing and passion!This is an Oxford Jazz Kitchen gig, at one of our favourite pubs. The Rose and Crown is friendly with great beer and wine and brilliant food. So we're definitely looking forward to this gig! FiddleBop will be playing from 7 pm. Admission is £5, and booking is recommended. Why? Because there is a coronation during this Bank Holiday weekend, and things just might get busy... Anyway, see you there?
