Over 200 minutes of sublime live highlights set over eight nights - bonus tracks interviews with Stochelo Rosenberg, Tcha Limberger and Biel Ballester It takes more than people and money to bring to fruition a festival such as this. As Le QuecumBar was created with a dream, so was the festival. After a bottle of wine in June 2009, with Django's 100th birthday just around the corner, the decision was made, the ball started rolling and the people who believed the dream, helped make it happen. London had never before hosted a Gypsy swing festival; why? Not commercial enough, no one believed it possible, and too many obstacles. Well that was several good reasons for me! It took courage of heart, tenacity and passion to drive this project through with the Le Q Records team and all the others who had belief and true grit, coupled with unwavering enthusiasm.

The live festival recordings produced this commemorative triple CD that captures all the atmosphere of the nine sold-out nights. The atmosphere was electric, the music sublime. These recordings encapsulate the essence of the festival, its music and performers, with all the tracks chosen by the musicians themselves. Some of the evenings' introductions and interviews have also been included, so that you might close your eyes, get closer to the musicians, and imagine what it was like on those exciting nights... If you are new to this music then listen and be captivated, then keep on swinging. If you ever get a chance to see these artists live, go and support them. Nothing beats the live experience and every performer on those CD's is worth the effort to see.

The Quartet is ideal for intimate venues where audiences are entranced by the constant interplay and imagination of the musicians.
