Presentation

Fapy Lafertin and Tcha Limberger together in an acoustic quartet: lyrical guitar, violin and voice, carried by one of Europe's most experienced drumless rhythm sections.

Fapy Lafertin and Tcha Limberger bring together two singular voices of European gypsy jazz. Lafertin's lyrical guitar and Limberger's violin, voice and deep connection to Central European musical traditions meet in a quartet built on melody, conversation and swing.

With Dave Kelbie on rhythm guitar and Sébastien Girardot on double bass, the music has the freedom of a chamber group and the pulse of a seasoned swing band — intimate, spontaneous and rooted in a shared musical language.
