Formed in Austin, Texas late 2003, Paris 49 gathers 5 guys who share the same passion for American Jazz and its interpretation by Django Reinhardt's various bands of the 30's and 40's. The sound is the blend of 2 electrified Gypsy guitars and the tenor saxophone, a thick and surreal effect. Upright bass and drums work intricately together, flirting with a Be-Bop beat, while never really stating it. The band doesn't limit itself to one aspect of Django Reinhardt's music. The Quintet occasionally divides to appear in a different form. As an acoustic duo in the downtown Austin French restaurant "Chez Nous", with Luke and Olivier on guitars... Towards the end of a foggy Sunday evening, you may be so lucky as to catch the owner of Chez Nous sitting at a table near the duo, sipping on a glass of Muscat, dreaming of the old country. The scene at the Continental Club on Monday Happy Hours is a whole different vision. Renowned local and touring artists have enjoyed sitting in with the band... this show is improvised!
