Romane

Touched by Django Reinhardt's style when he was young, Romane wanted for many years to let play again the music of the French jazzy tradition called sometimes manouche jazz or gypsy swing.

Romane is resigned to use the experiences of the past to get the best of today's music. It's his wish to make tradition evolve. He also wants to open the wings of culture to whomever is interested, and his educational works can testify to this: ("The Manouche Spirit"/Carish Editions, "Gypsy Jazz"/P.Beuscher Editions, "La Pompe"/Lemoine Editions, "Play Back and Guitar Themes Manouche"/Connection Editions).

We also have seen him crossing strings with some brilliant artists like Bob Brotzmann, Babik Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, James Carter and, of course, Didier Lockwood, with whom he's shared the international scene.
