| Performance Notes | 'Extreme, virtuoso Balkan Gypsy jazz' is how Timeout describes Dunajska Kapelye. Eastern European and Gypsy tunes shot through with searing, affecting improvisation by one of London's leading jazz violinists - Piotr Jordan. From the most plaintive gypsy ballads to riotous Romanian dances these extraordinary musicians amaze and delight audiences wherever they play. Longstanding favourites at North London's Vortex Jazz Club and Camden's Green Note, Dunajska Kapelye have played at Pizza Express, Soho, Jazz Cafe Posk, Le Quecumbar and have featured in the London Jazz Festival, Eastern European Jazz Festival, Margate Jazz Festival and most recently at the Oxford Jazz Festival where the organisers described them as 'magnificent'. With the stunning Django-style guitar of Jez Cook, 'bluesy' piano accordion of Zac Gvirtzman with Raph Mizraki on double bass Dunajska Kapelye 'can't help but leave you with a big, stupid grin on your face' - Metro. |
