The inspiration from the guitarplayer Django Reinhardt is the key to Rêve Bohème’s music and characteristic acoustic sound. Through the last 15 years the band have updated the European String Swing with a new repertoire of their own compositions, songs from the American jazz singer tradition, gypsy jazz standards and interpretations of classic songs in “Django-style”.

Rêve Bohème play Gypsy Jazz in a modern, dynamic and contemporary style which places the band as one of the interesting Nordic contributors to this European jazz-genre.

At live concerts the result is an exotic acoustic cocktail, consisting of Jens Fuglsang’s lyrical lead guitar and smooth vocal blending superbly with Finn Poulsen’s elegant and virtuosic chromatic harmonica. Together they create a dynamic musical univers based on the gypsy jazz foundation of Robert Pilgaards rhythm guitar,“la pompe”, and Jesper Riis’ rocksteady basslines.
