Trio Manouche - The Nu Gypsy
Trio Manouche are a world-class gypsy swing ensemble.
'The Nu Gypsy' features a mixture of traditional classics and up-beat quirky original compositions. These originals bring a unique and contemporary take on the genre and the repertoire.
Since forming in 2005 the band has played with such international artists such as Natty Bo (Ska Cubano) and Quentin Collins (Roy Ayers) - both featured on this recording.
The ensemble is typically a trio, however for larger venues we often augment the group with one or two more of our celebrated musicians:
The Trio…
-Simon Harris (Composer/Arranger/Guitar/Vocals)
-Frank Moon (Guitar and Backing Vocals)
-Colin Somervell (Double Bass)
Special guests include…
-Natty Bo (Vocals)
-Quentin Collins (Trumpet)
-Joelle Barker (Tap Dance)
-Tom Chapman (Percussion)
"Nice balance of strong original compositions, cool street, and reverse
lip service attitude make these guys worthy guardians of a 'done to death' music."
Dave Kelbie - Guitarist (Angelo Debarre Quartet)
"Esprit Manouche bring another take on the ever evolving music that has stemmed from the gypsy campfires - as the tribes of gypsies spread out around the world they assimilated the music of the lands they passed through added something fresh and made it gypsy music - Simon and the guys are continuing the process!"
Dave Alexander - Festival Organiser (L'Esprit Manouche!)
