About / Biography

If you love swing, Gypsy jazz, manouche and the music of the 1930s? Then the Gajè Gipsy Swing is the band for you!

The band members are professional, talented and fun and know how to create the perfect atmosphere throughout the night. Their experience and their quick and easy set-up make them the ideal choice for any occasion.

The band plays a customisable line up of instruments that can include a guitar, clarinet, violin and double bass.

As experienced musicians, the Gajè Gipsy Swing regularly perform across Italy and Europe and will be more than happy to travel to you and your event.

In the slower moments, the band will provide a warm and romantic atmosphere with their enchanting renditions of jazz classics and ballads.

Towards the end of the night, The Italy Gypsy Band can bring the swinging and engaging rhythms of the double bass, guitar and violin for a more uptempo atmosphere!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up, it takes usually 15 minutes but we like to arrive up in advance. We normally perform sets of 45 minuts with a break inbetween. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area

We play our repertoire of gipsy jazz songs.
