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.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"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
