Futur Swing

Futur Swing's repertoire is primarily inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt (1910-1953). They approach these now almost a hundred years old compositions with improvisational freedom, playfulness and humor, trying to push the traditional gypsy-jazz idiom in new directions (sometimes bordering with the avant-garde), but also with the intent of maintaining the more conservative aspects of the music. Five acoustic instrument (guitar, banjo, violin, bass, saxophone) create a colorful sound collage with which the band works through arrangements, instrumentation and improvisation.
