The group's music, their style and repertoire, are inspired by the Hot Club of France of the 1930s and 40s, the band that established the international reputations of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.
Swing, Latin, gypsy jazz and blues and often an infectious rhythm are the characteristics with virtuoso musicianship and a comedic presentation. Afternoon in Paris deliver a truly entertaining and rewarding musical show.
