Jazz Partout comes from southern Finland. Their music is an irresistible blend of French musette waltzes, Gypsy jazz and classic chansons. It's a mix that combines the best qualities of three different cultures: American swing, French elegance and expressive emotionality of Sinti music.
The prime influences come from Django Reinhardt's hot jazz, but the pioneers of French jazz accordion, Gus Viseur and Tony Murena, are of equal importance. Jazz Partout has refreshed the timeless tunes of these masters and they have also brought newer compositions and more modern sounds to their selection.
Jazz Partout's debut CD Ravi was released on March 2007. It got favorable reviews in leading Finnish newspapers Helsingin Sanomat and Hufvudstadsbladet as well as in the only Finnish jazz magazine Jazzrytmit. Ravi has also gained airplay in both nation-wide and local radio stations in Finland.
You can purchase Ravi online from CD Baby or The Ground, who also sells the album as mp3-tracks. And of course you can find Ravi in the best Finnish record stores Digelius, Fennica and Stupido Shop, which all take mail orders. And for digital mp3/wma delivery you can choose from over a dozen webstores like iTunes, All About Jazz, PayPlay or Musiikkilataamo.

Amis des bals musette, du Balajo, du Paris de la grande époque et des valses de Jo Privat, voici un groupe dont le son ne va pas vous laisser indifférent. Pourtant directement venu de la Finlande, Jazz Partout a su trouver le son de cette période. Cristophe Pilot,

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
