Jazz Partoutfrom southern Finland plays Gypsy jazz with musette flavors in the spirit of Django Reinhardt and Gus Viseur – with everlasting energy and tasty style.
Jazz Partout's music is an irresistible blend of Gypsy jazz, French musette waltzes and classic chansons. It's a mix that combines the best qualities of three different cultures: American swing, French elegance and expressive emotionality of Sinti music. The repertoire consists mainly of tunes made famous by Django Reinhardt, Gus Viseur and Edith Piaf, not to forget the contemporary masters of the genre like Stochelo Rosenberg and Biréli Lagrène, or the never-ending goldmine of American jazz standards. Bref, un jazz gitano parisien qui n'oublie pas non plus la grande chanson française (Francis Couvreux, Etudes Tziganes). Samples of Jazz Partout's repertoire:
Jazz Partout's members are top of the line professionals. Accordionist Mika Huusari has five times won the annual jazz critics poll in the magazine Jazzrytmit, Petri Krzywacki is a sought after session player and guitar tutor, Kimmo Iltanen has a university degree in Musicology and he specializes in French Gypsy style jazz playing in the Django Reinhardt tradition, and bassist Matti Tegelman plays in Tapiola Sinfonietta. The sonic palette of two different kinds of guitars and double bass added with marvelous accordion forms a truly irresistible sound. However, the line-up can be reduced or expanded according to the situation in hand, and thus Jazz Partout's audience has been able to take pleasure in excellent guest appearances by for example Heikki Kauppinen on clarinet, Fred Ahlberg on jazz mandolin, Stefanos Hirvonen on guitar or Mikko-Ville Luolajan-Mikkola on violin.
