The Hot Swing SextetThe Hot Swing Sextet
Bordeaux, France
Straight from Bordeaux, the Hot Swing Sextet is a true time machine: marathon sets that drop us into the jazz clubs of the 1930s, somewhere between Paris and Harlem, from Django Reinhardt to Duke Ellington. Hosting the show is Thibaud Bonté: trumpet in hand, top hat on his head and glitter sneakers on his feet, he introduces every tune like a circus ringmaster, telling you who wrote it and which dance it was made for. Behind him, Bertrand Tessier on sax, Erwann Muller and Ludovic Langlade on guitars, Franck Richard on double bass and Jéricho Ballan on drums deliver a sound that is powerful, groovy and elegant, driven by a rhythm section that never lets up. They’ve been playing for dancers for over ten years, they’re regulars at Europe’s biggest swing festivals, and they’re back in Genoa after last year’s blast!
They will play live at the Friday Party and the Saturday Party.
