HAI LA DRUM.

Romanian violinist Vasile Stanescu leads this multinational group which plays traditional Romanian folk themes mixed with improvisation, in an overall gypsy jazz interpretation. Stanescu is relatively unknown in the Uk but has received remarkable reviews on the British press before, owing to his unique violin style which successfully combines elements of swing, conservatoire technique and gypsy training.

"plays left -hand pizzicato with a panache I have only ever seen matched by Maxim Wengerov" London Evening Standard.

"better than Grapelli in places" Manchester evening News.

Vasile Stanescu is joined by Jonny Hepbir (guitar), Pete Watson (accordion) and Dan Sheppard (bass).
