Filippo Dall'Asta Gypsy Jazz Quartet: ft. Francesca Confortini

Experience the vibrant spirit of gypsy jazz with an international flair as virtuoso guitarist Filippo Dall’Asta returns to London for one night only. Leading a brand-new quartet formed in Barcelona, Filippo is joined by powerhouse vocalist Francesca Confortini, and two stars of the Spanish jazz scene: Neter Calafati on guitar and Oscar Tinoco on double bass.

Blending the infectious swing of Django Reinhardt with bebop, classical and world music influences, the quartet delivers a thrilling performance of jazz standards and original compositions — rich with storytelling, fiery improvisation, and irresistible rhythm.

This is gypsy jazz with a global heartbeat — intimate, theatrical, and joyfully alive.
