Eva Slongo & Jimmy Grant

Eva Slongo and Jimmy Grant form a nomadic duo whose harmony between violin and guitar offers a sincere and dynamic interpretation of gypsy jazz. Their music is a true sonic postcard, influenced by the legacy of Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, the vibrant colors of Eastern Europe, and the elegance of vocal jazz. Their collaboration is primarily a journey that merges tradition and modernity, always carried by a communicative simplicity.

The duo stands out with the subtle integration of vocals. Eva Slongo enriches their repertoire with scat and vocal improvisation, reminiscent of George Benson's unique approach: she isn’t afraid to sing while playing the violin. Their repertoire includes standards, original compositions, songs, and classical pieces reimagined in gypsy jazz.
