The Teddy Simmonds Jazz Band is a versatile London-based acoustic quartet, specialising in hard swinging gypsy jazz and blues. We are inspired by the style and music of the swing era, in particular the artistry and passion of Django Reinhardt and the gypsy jazz of the 'Hot Club du France'. The four members of TSJB were all drawn to this style of music from a variety of musical backgrouds including classical, country, modern jazz, New Orleans and Blues.
TSJB is a fully acoustic affair (that can be amplified if neccessary), and is well suited to outdoor events, pubs, clubs, speakeasies and swing dances across the land. We are never happier than when playing outdoors, unconstrained by leads or speakers, letting the instruments speak at their natural levels.
We play a mix of Amercian Swing and French gypsy jazz classics, with quirky originals thrown in. Guaranteed to get feet moving on the dancefloor!
