Toronto-based jazz manouche ensemble Les Petits Nouveaux fuses modern jazz influences with the acoustic "Hot Club" swing stylings of Django Reinhardt. Original compositions and fresh arrangements showcase their unique sound.
Canadians Aline Homzy (violin), Tak Arikushi (guitar) and Andy Mac (guitar), along with Jim Sexton (bass) and Mikko Hilden (guitar) from Sweden, reflect influences deeply rooted in the jazz manouche tradition of rhythmic guitar and swinging harmonies.
