Lulo Reinhardt is the foremost authentic and distinctive musical voice in Gypsy music today. Critics and fans agree that it is not solely because Lulo is the great-nephew of world-famous musician extraordinaire Django Reinhardt: It’s about Lulo’s unique musical genius, and his ability to make it appear so utterly effortless. The fact is that Lulo has devoted his life to music. He first showed an interest during his formative years. By the age of five Lulo was already being handed down the guitar tradition through his father Bawo. By the time he was 12, he was performing with his cousins in the Koblenz-based Mike Reinhardt sextet. Over the years, Lulo expanded his musical horizons as he delved into the music of other cultures.
“The audience sometimes expects me to play exclusively in the style of Django Reinhardt, but I have found a style of my own, and I’m happy and grateful that the people love it.”
Today, Lulo continues to explore and perform a fusion of styles, including flamenco, Latin, and Brazilian jazz. He combines these with his own artistic stamp, and always with a nod to his Gypsy influences. His name has achieved international acclaim. He founded “I Gitanos” with his father Bawo and cousin Dege.
In 2008 Lulo found a new audience in Australia after a successful tour. He recorded a CD and DVD, “Lulo Reinhardt Live in Melbourne.” In 2009, Lulo toured with International Guitar Night in Europe, the United States and Canada.
Lulo has played on many major events such as Rock Gegen Hass, International Cultural Festival Sahara en el Corazón (Algeria - with Brazilian guitarist Zezo Ribeiro), World Roma Festival Khamoro, Jazz Goes to Town (Czech Republic), Jazz and Blues Festival (Czech Republic) and Sidmouth Folk week (UK).
Today Lulo Reinhardt’s International Latin-Swing project features violinist Daniel Weltlinger (Australia), bassist Harald Becher (Germany), drummer Uli Krämer (Germany) and keyboardist Sean Mackenzie (Australia). The Latin Swing Project released a new album in 2010 and are currently promoting it with a tour of Australia, Europe and the UK.

”In the midst of lolling away his time in semi-retirement after the Dave Brubeck Quartet broke up in 1967, Paul Desmond allowed himself to be lured back into the recording studio by producer Creed Taylor, who knew exactly what to do with his idle, but by no means spent, alto player. The result is a beautifully produced, eclectic album of music that revives Desmond’s “bossa antigua” idea and sends it in different directions, directly toward Brazil and various Caribbean regions, as well as back to the jazzy States. “Samba With Some Barbecue” is a marvelous bossa nova treatment of Louis Armstrong’s New Orleans rouser “Struttin’ With Some Barbecue,” whose opening bars bear an uncanny resemblance to those of “Samba de Orpheus” (which the erudite Desmond was no doubt aware of). No matter how many times you’ve heard “Autumn Leaves,” Desmond’s bossa nova treatment will give you a fresh jolt as he offhandedly tosses off the most exquisitely swinging ruminations; too bad it fades after only three minutes. In a pliable mood, Desmond even consents to record a then-new Beatles tune, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” samba-style, quoting “Hey Jude” along the way (it’s very possible that he was attracted by the main character of the lyric, a fellow named Desmond), and he makes potent music out of movie tunes like “Emily” and even the snazzy “Lady in Cement.” Don Sebesky brings in some intelligently crafted arrangements for big band augmented by French horns, Herbie Hancock turns in some often brilliant solo work in several featured spots, Ron Carter is on bass, and Leo Morris and Airto Moreira alternate on drums. Never before had Desmond’s alto been recorded so ravishingly—Rudy Van Gelder’s engineering gives it a new golden-mellow glow—and the original LP had a great, sarcastic cover: gleaming icicles.” ~ Richard S.

Sous le nom « Les Gosses de la Rue », se cache un groupe de swing manouche créé en 2004 et composé de cinq musiciens : une contrebasse, deux guitares, un violon et une flûte traversière. Riche d’influences variées allant de Bach à Coltrane, leur répertoire est composé de reprises de Django Reinhardt, de standards du jazz et de la chanson française, de musiques d’Europe de l’Est.
A l’occasion de la préparation de leur second album, les Gosses de la Rue ont privilégié l’écriture de morceaux originaux, résolument swing !
Ils peuvent aisément s’adapter à différents types de manifestations avec la possibilité de déambulation en acoustique.
Insatiables de la scène, les bien nommés Gosses de la Rue arpentent les plateaux bordelais et au delà, toujours en quête de nouvelles rencontres musicales et festives.
Monsieur Melon, c’est d’abord un personnage créé et façonné depuis 10 ans par Mikou, le leader du groupe. Mikou vient de l’école du métro parisien où il a chanté et peaufiné son art entre 2000 et 2004. En 2005, il rencontre des musiciens venus d’horizons différents et monte sur les scènes de caf’ conc’ et enchaîne une moyenne de 70 concerts par an. En 2007, il réalise enfin son premier album : Même en hiver.
Entouré de Marie à la guitare, d’Amine à la contrebasse et de l’excellent Sylvain aux clarinettes et sax, Mikou nous propose ses propres textes évoquant le goût de la route (Graines de nomades) et de la vie de bohême (ßohême d’automne, Chemins de traverse), l’expérience du métro (le métro, titre qu’on a déjà pu entendre en radio) ou des squares parisiens (Le square), les voyages en bateau (Journée en mer) et la métaphore maritime (L’auberge fluviale), et l’amour, bien sûr (Le dessinateur, L’âme sœur).
Si le style très imprégné de swing manouche (pompe et valses…) rappelle immanquablement celui de Sansévérino et des Voleurs de Poule (cf L’auberge fluviale), Monsieur Melon possède sa propre personnalité et pose sur le monde et les gens un regard beaucoup plus attendri et très attachant. Entouré d’une multitude d’invités tous excellent musiciens (violon, accordéon), l’album s’écoute agréablement : les textes sont toujours réjouissants et les musiques souvent festives.
A noter que le prochain album de Monsieur Melon sortira en novembre 2010.
