Presentation

Tcha Limberger joins guitarist Dave Kelbie and bassist Sébastien Girardot in a drumless acoustic trio, where his violin, voice and guitar move between gypsy jazz, Hungarian melodies and Central European musical traditions.

Raised in a Belgian family of musicians, Tcha Limberger is a violinist, guitarist and singer whose work connects Hungarian and Central European traditions with gypsy jazz and early swing. In his acoustic trio with Dave Kelbie on guitar and Sébastien Girardot on double bass, melody and rhythm move freely between old songs, jazz standards and improvisation. The drumless line-up leaves room for the expressiveness, spontaneity and close musical conversation that make Tcha's playing distinctive.
