Christy Bennett's Fumée is a Chicago-based jazz band that plays European music, lesser-known jazz standards and music from the Great American Songbook with a nod to the swing style invented by Django Reinhardt. Fumée creates a suave fusion of European and American jazz traditions that is elegant and upbeat, sensitive and lyrical. The band performs with a traditional drum-less ensemble utilizing string instruments as the rhythm section (Don Stiernberg, mandolin). Add to that, the charm and European flair of the accordion (Don Stille), the tone and energy of the trumpet (Art Davis), and the emotion and lyricism of the voice (Christy Bennett) and you have their modern interpretation that preserves the tradition.Don Stille accordion
