Eva Scholten with Latchepen
We welcome a talented young jazz singer from Holland, Eva Scholten, with Matt Holborn’s gypsy jazz band Latchepen. With her phenomenal timing and improvisations in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, Eva provides her very own counterpoint to the musicians around her.
Having spent the last 6 years touring Europe with her group ‘Eva Sur Seine’, a tribute to the legacy of Django Reinhardt, she is collaborating for this UK tour with Latchepen, one of London’s best Django inspired bands, with Matt Holborn (violin), Kourosh Kanani (guitar), Jeremie Coullon (guitar) and Simon Read (bass).
The word Latchepen is an exclamation of happiness and contentment in the Romani language, and together Eva and Latchepen take their love of the gypsy jazz tradition and breathe new life into it for a thrilling evening of swing, jazz manouche and bebop.
Not to be missed!
