We already had the pleasure to present “Django!! 100”, a project of the De Cauter family & Collage Theater and Music Productions, during “Djangofolllies 2010”. A second project, honouring Django Reinhardt, will be presented during the Brosella Folk & Jazz 2010 festival. This time, Koen De Cauter and his sons are working in association with prominent musicians of the Paris Swing Orchestra (“Hommage 2009” Award of the Hot Club de France) and Stochelo Rosenberg from The Netherlands.
Koen De Cauter : more than 35 years live music of great diversity, about 30 cd’s (not counting the many LP’s he recorded in the 70’s – 80’s) under his name. Started in ’75 the famous Waso Quartet (named after his first born) what resulted in a true revival of the Hot Club music. Renowned Brassens interpreter. Projects and recordings round Sidney Bechet, Gipsy Music, New-Orleans jazz, musette, chanson… And as tradition once was, he passed the ‘craft’ onto his children. The family ensemble was created in 1990 as a little project. What once started as a side-project from with only occasional gigs became after a while the core of most of the activities from this exceptional family. Meanwhile Waso, Vigdis, Dajo and Myrddin are after about 15 years experience very strong musical personalities on there own. If Koen brought the experience and taste his kids brought new energy and angles… Hot-Club, Swing-Jazz, Chanson and Gypsy-music were extended with Flamenco, contemporary-Jazz and World-music. This band has an own body and soul as musical entity. After a lot of recordings in different band and combinations they finally released an album together in 2003: Ulysse.

Paris Swing Orchestra was founded jointly in 1997 by a number of musicians, who were all into classical jazz in different small bands. In the meantime PSO has become an institute at the national and international scene. Related to the big swing orchestra’s of the Thirties and Fourties, PSO is certainly the most stylish and visual. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Django Reinhardt… are all part of the repertoire, but with a fresh approach and new, original arrangements.

Stochelo Rosenberg is born in 1968 in a gypsy settlement in The Netherlands. He started to play guitar at the very "late" age of 10 years old, which is very rare in a musical family. But Stochelo caught up incredibly quick, constantly replaying Django's solos over and over when he was not learning from his father Mimer and his uncle Wasso Grunholz. Rapidly spotted as an exceptional talent, his parents wanted to keep him protected from the universe of "show business" while he was young, so he remained to play with his cousins and matured what would become one of the leading formations in the history of gipsy jazz. Stochelo's unmistakable, extremely melodic playing is now universally regarded as one of the most brilliant forms of guitar playing ever.

Press Quotes:
De Cauter family:
De Standaard: “ Koen De Cauter seems to rely on Sidney Bechet and Johnny Hodges. The vibrato, he’s somethimes using, seems out of time. But his playing is 100% sincere, because he’s not exaggerating, even prudent in his approach. The quartet has polished its arrangements. Harmonies and tempo’s are carefully chosen. Today, their repertoire has more variety and intimacy, some songs are delicate. Silence is also playing a part now. Waso dares to be fragile...”
Het Nieuwsblad: “ ...The whole concert was a tribute to classical music, jazz and folk music. No tricks, no trends. Koen De Cauter is an original human being, only focussing on essence.”
Paris Swing Orchestra :
Jazzhouse: “...Soloists of great reach and impressive originality of interpretation abound in the 15-strong Paris Swing Orchestra, and the arrangements and adaptations by alto saxophonist Marc Richard and trombonist Jean-Pierre Dumontier, while inspired by the sources the band draws from, are ingeniously crafted to fit the special needs of this very vital band of Swing Era persuasions.”
New Zealand news: “…And then there was the Paris Swing Orchestra, a high-powered 15-piece band playing very convincing ‘30s and ‘40s jazz in the manner of Count Basie, Chick Webb and others. This band is tightly rehearsed, has some very good soloists (including two good tenor players, a Coleman Hawkins guy and an Illinois Jacquet guy), and they simply blew the roof off the tent all weekend.”
Stochelo Rosenberg :
Scotsman: “The Netherlands-based gypsy guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg displayed a fierce yet impressively articulated attack, here in the largely tight company of a younger, Barcelona-based trio. There was some effective interplay between Rosenberg's acoustic guitar and Ballester's rounder-toned amplified instrument, the two sparring nicely in several Reinhardt numbers, such as Blues Claire and a version of Cole Porter's What Is This Thing Called Love? Things really started to sizzle when they were unexpectedly joined by the Dutch swing violinist Tim Kliphuis on standards such as Minor Swing and Reinhardt's Impromptu, in a lithe, Bach-inflected Kliphuis-Rosenberg duet. Impromptu was the word.”
