Jazz with a french twist
Duo Gadjo’s music is largely inspired by the sounds of the 20's and 30's, when jazz was the new thing and Paris was the place to be. Their style is often called ‘Gypsy Jazz’ as pioneered by the great guitarist Django Reinhardt who, single handedly created this new genre by infusing the American art form with his French, and Gypsy influences. Duo Gadjo’s repertoire, featuring Isabelle Fontaine on vocals, includes many French classics as sung by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Yves Montand and others, as well as standards from the Great American songbook. Their distinctive French Cafe sound emanates from their Gypsy guitars, with the addition of the melodica.
