| Orchestra or Band | Dunajska Kapelye (Piotr Jordan - violin, Jez Cook - guitar, Zac Gvirtsman - piano accordion, Raph Mizraki - double bass) |
| 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."
