Kamao Quartet
London
https://www.facebook.com/KamaoQuintet
The Kamao Qaurtet take their inspiration from the legacy of the great Django Reinhardt and traditional Manouche and Romani (gypsy) music. Their repertoire ranges from hot swinging jazz, to traditional manouche songs, original compositions, jazz songs and even Brazilian Choro. Fronted by singer and guitarist Jean de Talhouet, the band on this night will include Andrew Woolf (clarinetist and wonderful Brazilian Choro and jazz player), Dave Shulman (trading his usual clarinet for saxophone) and Colin Somervell (bass), creating a beautiful sound that compliments the vocals with haunting and lyrical harmonies, punctuated with captivating instrumental improvisations.
