Jelle was born in 1980.
At the age of seven Jelle van Tongeren started to play classical
violin. When he was seventeen he first
listened to gypsy jazz and was
overwhelmed!
He started to play along with
recordings of Stephane Grappelli.
Later he enrolled in the Conservatory
of Amsterdam, working with
Rob Madna and Daniel Otten.
Other than the swing in the Grappelli/Reinhardt style, Van Tongerens unique way of playing is also influenced by the the modern approach of the early Jean Luc Ponty and other great artists like Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker.
