A Taste Of What's On
Gig at the Greenhouses: Mambista with Ducato Piotrowski
Mambista is back in the summer sun at the Greenhouses this year with a hand-picked selection of very special and uplifting music from Gypsy Swing to Soukous and Salsa, Reggae, Afrobeat, Ska, Funk, Jazz and Jump-up electric Blues. Join us in the garden for music, food and drink amongst the flowers. On Sunday 5th July join us for an evening of Gypsy Jazz, Gypsy Swing, Jazz Manouche, Hot Club-style Jazz, or whatever you want to call the music invented by Romani Jean “Django” Reinhardt (1910–1953) and French jazz violinist Stéphane Grap-pelli. Guitarist extraordinaire Ducato was born into the tradition in Poland to a Roma family and carries the flame with passion and virtuosity, and has played everywhere from Pizza Express Jazz Club to the Royal Festival Hall.
