Martin Abbuehl’s Swing Express

Martin Abbuehl’s Swing Express Swing Express is a quartet of die-hard musicians completely devoted to the music of Django Reinhardt. With a violin, two guitars and a double bass, they bring the 1930s back to life. The driving force behind the sound of this four-piece is a pulsating powerhouse of a rhythm section with Marco Neri on guitar and Thomas Dürst on double bass. Melodic duties are performed by Martin Abbuehl on violin and Florent Kirchmeyer on solo guitar. When these four totally committed stringsmen play, their passion rubs off on the audience in an instant. Silky-smooth melodies drenched in melancholy alternate with breathtaking, ever-changing soundscapes and dizzying solo virtuosity.

His smoky tones, impeccable timing and clear phrasing simply come naturally to him. His amiable and relaxed manner imbue his music with soulful calm reminiscent of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra or Marvin Gaye.

The four-strong band of highly talented musicians is a regular fixture at the leading jazz festivals.
