Their guitar skills paint a vibrant picture of Italian culture, from lively gypsy campfires to soulful jazz joints in the heart of Rome. So, kick back, let the music take you on a ride, and enjoy the fusion of Italian vibes, straight ahead jazz and gypsy swing from Joost, Paulus, Wim and Jasper. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to grab a glass of wine, sit back, and soak in the good vibes.
