FiddleBop play "Gypsy jazz re-imagined" at the Rose and Crown, Redmarley! That's on violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, and fretless bass, and with four voices in harmony. And it's free entry!So what is this "Gypsy jazz re-imagined"? Back in the 1930s, the Quintette du Hot Club de France (think Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli) created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some JS Bach. FiddleBop’s music is just as wide-ranging: expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre’s century-long history, plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the band’s own creations. Add superb musicianship and irreverent banter, then season to taste.
Jo Davies plays Spanish guitar and sings: she’s the rhythmic foundation of FiddleBop. Dave Favis-Mortlock is on violin and vocals. Paul Stevens is FiddleBop’s keyboard whiz: rhythmic, blues-soaked, and soulful. And Graeme Lamble is FiddleBop’s fretless bassist extraordinaire.
