Le grand détournement

Description

In the land of swing, the impertinent are kings, and with these five, the crown has been trembling since 2006. Their tribulations take them to the crossroads of genres, and they do not hesitate to explore every path. All they have left to do is dig into their travel memories to embellish the classic rhythms of gypsy jazz with rock, blues, world music, bossa, or funk tones. Sometimes, you even find touches of metal. If impertinence is the art of deviating from tradition and giving oneself the freedom to play with it, to reshape it, then no doubt, armed with its guitars, flutes, violin, and bass, Fretswing has chosen to push it to its peak. Along the album, "Le grand détournement," you won't be surprised to find a few nods to popular songs heard during its wanderings. Recognizing them becomes a game that the listener enjoys as much as the musicians enjoyed performing them.
