Tchavolo Schmitt ‎• Live In Paris

 

  

Tchavolo Schmitt (born 1954 in Paris) is a Romani jazz guitarist. Schmitt performed as a member of various ensembles in the 1970s. Then he settled in Strasbourg and left the professional circuit for a time, releasing solo albums in 2000.  He played Miraldo in the Tony Gatlif film Swing.

Tchavolo Schmitt was introduced to the guitar at the age of 6 by his mother; his father played the violin. He developed a virtuosity in the manouche style (gypsy jazz) and his renown rapidly exceeded the limits of Alsace, his ancestral region. He became influential among his peers, in particular at Porte de Montreuil or Chope des Puces in Saint-Ouen, homes of tavolo-manouche swing.

In 1979, he became a professional musician, and after leaving Paris to return to his Alsatian roots, he joined the band Hot Club da Sinti, which included violinist Wedeli Köhler, guitarist Schmeling Lehmann, and bassist Jani Lehmann. A single LP recording (now a collector's item) was released in 1981. While his career paused during the 1980s, in 1993 he joined the band Gypsy Tavolo Reunion with, among others, Dorado Schmitt, Patrick Saussois and Gino Reinhardt.

In 2000, he released the first album under his own name, titled Alors?...Voilà!. This album was followed in 2001 by Miri Familia. In 2002, he released the original soundtrack to Swing, a movie directed by Tony Gatlif where Tchavolo Schmitt played the role of Miraldo, a guitar teacher. In 2004, Angelo Debarre joined him to produce a tribute record to Django Reinhardt called Mémoires. In 2005 he released a solo album called Loutcha.

His cousin Dorado Schmitt is also a gypsy jazz guitarist, as are Dorado's sons Samson, Bronson and Amati.

Tchavolo Schmitt (nacido en 1954 en París) es un guitarrista de jazz romaní. Schmitt actuó como miembro de varios conjuntos en la década de 1970, luego se instaló en Estrasburgo y abandonó el circuito profesional por un tiempo, lanzando álbumes en solitario en 2000.  Interpretó a Miraldo en la película Swing de Tony Gatlif.

Tchavolo Schmitt fue introducido a la guitarra a la edad de 6 años por su madre; su padre tocaba el violín. Desarrolló un virtuosismo en el estilo manouche (jazz gitano) y su renombre superó rápidamente los límites de Alsacia, su región ancestral. Se volvió influyente entre sus pares, en particular en Porte de Montreuil o Chope des Puces en Saint-Ouen, hogares de tavolo-manouche swing.

En 1979, se convirtió en músico profesional y, después de dejar París para regresar a sus raíces alsacianas, se unió a la banda Hot Club da Sinti, que incluía al violinista Wedeli Köhler, el guitarrista Schmeling Lehmann y el bajista Jani Lehmann. Una grabación de un solo LP (ahora una pieza de coleccionista) fue lanzada en 1981. Si bien su carrera se detuvo durante la década de 1980, en 1993 se unió a la banda Gypsy Tavolo Reunion con, entre otros, Dorado Schmitt, Patrick Saussois y Gino Reinhardt.

En 2000, lanzó el primer álbum bajo su propio nombre, titulado Alors?...Voilà!. A este álbum le siguió en 2001 Miri Familia. En 2002, lanzó la banda sonora original de Swing, una película dirigida por Tony Gatlif donde Tchavolo Schmitt interpretó el papel de Miraldo, un profesor de guitarra. En 2004, Angelo Debarre se unió a él para producir un disco tributo a Django Reinhardt llamado Mémoires. En 2005 lanzó un álbum en solitario llamado Loutcha.

Su primo Dorado Schmitt también es guitarrista de jazz gitano, al igual que sus hijos Samson, Bronson y Amati.
