InfluencesDjango Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli were prolific composers, arrangers and recorders. Their tradition in the Quintet of the Hot Club of France is alive and well as seen not only in the virtuosic playing of Bireli Lagrene, the Rosenberg Trio, the Schmitt family, Angelo Debarre, Fapy Lafertin, Lollo Meier, Patrick Saussois, Jimmy Rosenberg, Ritary Gaguenetti, their bands and countless others, but also by the worldwide phenomenon of Hot Clubs.

   About Swing Noire


Ex-Pine Island violinist David Gusakov, twins Rob and Jim McCuen on lead guitar and double bass, and rhythm guitarist Jared Volpe make up Vermont's newest acoustic, Hot Club style quartet. Visit our Web site to find out more...

What made (and makes) this music unique is the use of 2 – 3 guitars of the Selmer/Maccaferri style, double bass, and in the traditional lineup, a swingin' violin. We take inspiration from the Romany, Sinti and Manouche diaspora who influenced Django Reinhardt along with the American Hot Jazz of the early 1900's.

Let Swing Noire recreate the energy of a swingin' 1930’s jazz club at your next event, party, corporate function or special celebration.

It's kind of like bluegrass... but better! Tell your momma we told you.

PS That recording you are listening to was impromtu; 2 mics, 4 musicians, too much reverb. We'll be back in the studio in the near future so check back soon.
