Through the last 15 years, the band has updated the European String Swing with a new repertoire of their compositions, songs from the American jazz singer tradition, gypsy jazz standards, and interpretations of classic songs in "Django-style".
Rêve Bohème plays Gypsy Jazz in a modern, dynamic, and contemporary style, placing the band as an interesting Nordic contributor to this European jazz genre.

Together they create a dynamic musical universe based on the gypsy jazz foundation of Robert Pilgaards rhythm guitar, "la pompe", and Jesper Riis' rocksteady basslines.
