About

Brisbane Acoustic Swing Jazz Band is an Acoustic Swing Group inspired by the great acoustic swing musicians like Stochelo Rosenberg, Django” Reinhardt and even Carlos Santana. There are Interesting stories about each and here is Django's story he became one of the 20th century's most important guitarists out of unfortunate circumstance.

After suffering burns as a young guitarist in a Caravan fire, Django retaught himself the guitar using only his index and middle finger for solos. This unusual technique helped develop a new style of music ....... Gypsy jazz. If Django’s ring and pinkie fingers had not been paralysed, there’s no guarantee the world would ever have heard Gypsy jazz.

Although always popular in Europe, acoustic swing has seen a recent rise in popularity in Australia. Thanks to festivals and online communities, Gypsy jazz style acts have found audiences increasingly hungry for the intricate solos and natural toe-tapping swing.

Available for private functions, festivals, weddings, corporate events and special occasions.
