10 things you should know about Reve Boheme
October 4, 2013 by Peter2708
- Reve Boheme have been at the forefront of the Danish Gypsy Jazz scene for well over a decade. Django Reinhardt visited Copenhagen just before the outbreak of World War II (I don’t mean to imply it was his fault), and must have left a strong impression, as the music is still alive and well there today.
- They made their debut in the renound Gypsy Jazz venue Bistro d’Eustache in Paris in 1999.
- Reve Boheme translates as Bohemian dream.
- Boheme is a reference to the romantic travelling lifestyle commonly associated with String Swing music. It is NOT a reference to the historical region of the Roman empire, the Guatamalen rock group Bohemia Suburbana or the Punjabi Rapper Bohemia
- I will be playing with Reve Boheme next week: On Thursday, 10th October, 2013 at 8:00pm in Hugo’s Vinkælder in Køge, and On Friday, 11th October, 2013 at 7:30pm in Jazz Cup in Copenhagen.
- The bands regular line up is:
- Jens Fuglsang (Vocal & Lead Guitar)
- Finn Poulsen (Harmonica & Vocal)
- Robert Pilgaard
- Jesper Riis (Bass)
- Their Latest release is Django Goes North, which is their fifth release
- For more information visit Reve Boheme‘s website
- Did I mention that I am playing with them next week?
- The gig I’m playing with them on Friday the 11th is part of Copenhagen’s night of culture. The gig is completely free to get in, and free to get out!
