John Calverley Duo
John Calverley is an active freelance violinist, improviser, session musician and instructor. Having studied violin under the guidance of Norman Nelson, he embraces both classical training and a relentless pursuit of musical diversity. His repertoire spans across genres. The John Calverely Duo blends hot swing, old-world charm and unstoppable groove as they deliver European Jazz Manouche, drawing from the Romani and Parisian jazz traditions of the 30s. This high-energy duo channels the spirit of Django Reinhard and Stéphane Grappelli and adds a fresh and joyful swing.
