Faux Frenchmen • Faux Frenchmen

 



The Faux Frenchmen are acoustic guitarists Brian Lovely and George Cunningham, acoustic bassist Don Aren, and violinist Paul Patterson. They’ve played Hot Club-driven gypsy jazz in and around Cincinnati and the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. since 2002.

Guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli fronted the Quintette of the Hot Club of France in and around Paris from 1934 to 1939, and constituted the first generation of European jazz musicians. The Hot Club blended backgrounds in traditional gypsy and European popular and classical music with the then-new sounds of American jazz artists like Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong , Fats Waller, and Benny Goodman to create a new musical genre, now often called "gypsy jazz."
The Faux Frenchmen adapt the Hot Club’s instrumentation and style in forging their own re-Americanized take on gypsy jazz. Their four CD releases, Faux Frenchmen (2007), Oblivion (2008), The Swing Shift (2010), and 3am Waltz (2011) bend the relationship between American and European jazz, utilizing elements of both to create a distinctive stylistic voice.

Los falsos franceses son los guitarristas acústicos Brian Lovely y George Cunningham, el bajista acústico Don Aren y el violinista Paul Patterson. Han tocado jazz gitano en Hot Clubs en Cincinnati y sus alrededores y en el este y el medio oeste de EE.UU. desde 2002.

El guitarrista Django Reinhardt y el violinista Stéphane Grappelli dirigieron el Quinteto del Hot Club de Francia en París y sus alrededores de 1934 a 1939, y constituyeron la primera generación de músicos de jazz europeos. El Hot Club mezcló los antecedentes de la música gitana tradicional y la música popular y clásica europea con los entonces nuevos sonidos de los artistas de jazz americanos como Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong , Fats Waller y Benny Goodman para crear un nuevo género musical, ahora llamado a menudo "jazz gitano".
Los falsos franceses adaptan la instrumentación y el estilo del Hot Club para forjar su propia versión reamericanizada del jazz gitano. Sus cuatro lanzamientos de CD, Faux Frenchmen (2007), Oblivion (2008), The Swing Shift (2010), y 3am Waltz (2011), doblan la relación entre el jazz americano y el europeo, utilizando elementos de ambos para crear una voz estilística distintiva.
