Futur Swing
Jazz On The Roof

We’re bringing you a special series of open air summer concerts on the roof of the Jazz Dock! Every Saturday at 4 p.m.

Futur Swing's repertoire is inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt (1910-1953). They approach these now almost a hundred-year-old compositions with improvisational freedom, playfulness and humor, pushing the traditional gypsy-jazz idiom in new directions (sometimes bordering with the avant-garde), but also with the intent of maintaining the more conservative aspects of the music. Five acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, violin, bass and saxophone) create a colorful sound collage with which the band works through arrangements, instrumentation and improvisation.
