Reve Boheme

The Sound // Vocal Gypsy Jazz
Imagine; a long night at a typical, bustling Parisian street café in a bygone era, Django
Reinhardt bumps into a young Frank Sinatra and they start to jam!

This scenario is the inspiration for the sound and music of Jens Fuglsang & Rêve Bohème in 2011 -updated hot and swinging vocal jazz in the spirit of Django Reinhardt.!

Everybody in France knows of the fabled gypsy guitarist Django who became a living legend in Paris in the 1930’s, and his music and spirit still live on. With a repertoire of Django’s tunes, their own compositions, and jazz standards Jens Fuglsang & Rêve Bohème have created a unique and modern blend of European String Swing and the American jazzsinger tradition.

The line-up consists of Jens Fuglsang (vocal & lead guitar), Finn Poulsen (harmonica),
Robert Pilgaard (rhythm guitar) and Jesper Riis (bass).
