Lammy Bruyns Combo - Swing Musette & Chansons, Live CD

CD front: Lammy Bruyns Combo - Swing Musette & Chansons (live, 2017)

Lammy Bruyns is an acknowledged accordionist in Holland known for her virtuosity in the Parisian Musette music as well as for her singing. About five years ago Lammy met Georg Lankester, guitarist in the gypsy-swing style, who had published a book about Django Reinhardt’s influence on the Musette-rhythm. During their first meeting Lammy, Georg and some friends spontaneously played a bit together and then Lammy suggested to form a combo. The Lammy Bruyns Combo is a quartet consisting of Lammy Bruyns (accordion and vocal), Georg Lankester ((solo) guitar), Arthur Siero (guitar) and Jan Miedendorp de Bie (double bass). The repertoire of this quartet includes original Musette waltzes, (music in which Lammy is an expert) - and all these backed up in a highly swinging rhythm like it was played in the 1930s and 1940s' Paris. Moreover some American popular songs are added as well as famous French chansons and own compositions.

In October 2017 the combo gave a concert in the Northern part of Holland which was recorded for an enthousiastic audience. From this concert a selection of the recordings was chosen in order to present a variety of the repertoire by the Lammy Bruyns Combo in a just released CD, shown above. The CD includes original French Musette waltzes, some ballads as well as examples of Django swing from the 1930s and 1940s. Tracklist: Style Musette / September Song / Indifférence / It had to be you / Vous et Moi / Lady be Good / Ma première Guitare / Mr. Sandman / Pour Jo / Chez Jacquet / You made me love you / Les yeux noirs. - A couple of audio clippings from the CD are inserted in the video below

Next to live performances in Holland – starting from 2017 – the Combo also gives concerts in Germany.

The music of the Lammy Bruyns Combo with a French touch will bring listeners back to the Parisian cabarets of the 1930s and 1940s and certainly invites to dancing as well as a cozy atmosphere in good company.
