The inspiration from the guitarplayer Django Reinhardt is the key to Rêve Bohème’s music and characteristic acoustic sound. Did the famous French guitarist Django Reinhardt ever play in the North? Yes, actually Django did visit Denmark back in February 1939 just before the outbreak of World War 2. With his “Le Quintette du Hot Club de France” he played 4 concerts in two days in the city of Copenhagen – for an enthusiastic crowd and with great reviews in the newspapers.
Obviously Rêve Bohème never had a chance to see the concerts back in 1939 but the spirit from Django’s music still lives on 73 years after his visit to Denmark. Over the years Rêve Bohème has performed in different line-ups and musical settings. Their fusion between the Nordic and South-European traditions always creates a unique musical universe which can be heard on their four previous albums: Café Django 2009 (Calibrated), Best of Rêve Bohème 2007 (Hot Club Records), Django’s Dream 2005 (Calibrated) and Django Jalousie 2002 (Cope). These albums feature Jens Fuglsang, Robert Pilgaard (guitars), Kasper Fredholm (sax), Morten Ravn (bass) and various guest appearances by Karina Kappel (voc), Lisa Haavik (voc), Knut Haavik (perc) and Bjarke Falgren (vio).
The band debutised at the famous gypsy jazz restaurant Bistro d'Eustache in Paris, 1998. Since then they have been touring and playing at clubs and festivals in Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, England, Germany, Holland, Greece and Poland. The band have played and performed with international gypsy jazz artists such as Dorado Schmidt, Robin Nolan, Andreas Öberg, Jon Larsen & HCN, Basily, Paulus Schäfer, Angelo Debarre, Gary Potter, Biel Ballester…and many others.
