Les Violons de Bruxelles

Emotions and Swing  Tcha Limberger (violin, vocals), Renaud Crols (violin),Alexandre Tripodi (viola), Renaud Dardenne (acoustic guitar),Sam Gerstmans (double bass) Bring together the best string players in the Belgian jazz scene and you get Les Violonsde Bruxelles! All around the world, the music of Django Reinhardt is celebrated, copied,immortalised and revived. Sometimes betrayed even. The most usual way to form anorchestra is to imitate the set-up of the legendary Hot Club de France Quintet, that is aviolin, a solo guitar, one or two rhythm guitars, and a doublebass. Les Violons DeBruxelles re-imagine this almost sacred formula. The doublebass stays, but for the restthe traditional set-up is turned around: just one guitar and…three violins. The presence ofthese violins tints their interplay with polyphonic colours, but also supplies the soloist withsubtle and uplifting comping, harmonically as well as rhythmically. Furthermore, thecontrasting personalities of the three violinists allow a multitude of styles, emotions andswing to flourish. A fresh and original take on the string orchestra! ENJOY!  TICKET: 20€ Members – No Members  22€
