Peterborough Jazz Club: The Ben Holder Hot Club Quartet
Sun 1 SepThe Ben Holder Hot Club Quartet
For the first concert of the new season at the Club, we are delighted to present an evening of Gypsy Swing, otherwise known in France as Jazz Manouche. This genre was created in the 1930’s by the genius gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and the brilliant violinist Stephane Grappelli with their Quintette of the Hot Club of France. This heart pumping, atmospheric music is currently experiencing a great resurgence throughout Europe with its rhythm, melodies and energy. Ben Holder’s Hot Club Quartet is without doubt one the very best bands playing this genre and receives rave reviews wherever they play. BEN HOLDER is the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinist in the UK. His classical training combined with his innate sense of swing rhythm and incredible energy set him apart from every other player you’ll come across. You can expect unbelievable musicianship along side witty repartee from this wonderful entertainer. The Ben Holder Hot Club Quartet honours the creative genius of Reinhardt and Grappelli – this will be an evening of blisteringly energetic and impressive live jazz. Ben will be joined on stage by three masters of the craft – Jez Cook and Caley Groves on guitars, plus acclaimed double bassist Mike Green.
