About / Biography

Le Chat Rouge is a professional Jazz Manouche quartet inspired by the legendary music of Django Reinhardt and the Parisian swing tradition of the 1930s and 1940s.

Our repertoire features the timeless classics of Django Reinhardt, alongside some of the most famous jazz standards and swing tunes, reinterpreted in the distinctive and vibrant Manouche style. We also bring a selection of classic Italian swing songs, creating a unique musical journey that combines French Gypsy Jazz, American swing and the elegance of Italian music.

With guitars, violin and double bass, our sound can range from intimate and sophisticated to energetic and highly engaging, making us suitable for a wide variety of events. We perform at weddings, private parties, corporate events, festivals, wine tastings, aperitifs and elegant dinners.

Our repertoire can include Django Reinhardt classics, well-known jazz standards and swing favourites, as well as iconic Italian songs such as Volare, Buonasera Signorina, In cerca di te and Via con me.

Whether you are looking for refined background music during a dinner or aperitif, or an energetic live performance that gets guests involved, Le Chat Rouge brings the authentic atmosphere of Jazz Manouche and vintage swing to your event.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of our most memorable concerts took place on a boat, with the audience gathered along the waterfront while we performed on board. It created a truly magical atmosphere and an incredible, unforgettable experience for everyone.


What's your favourite type of event?

Our favourite events are aperitifs, dinners and social gatherings where our music can complement the atmosphere, creating an elegant and relaxed backdrop without overpowering the event.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Initially, we dedicated ourselves to studying and exploring the music of Django Reinhardt and the Jazz Manouche tradition. After five years of activity, we have developed a solid repertoire and now perform regularly throughout the year at concerts and events.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The artist who has influenced us the most is undoubtedly Django Reinhardt, along with the rich musical tradition that grew from his unique style and the entire world of Jazz Manouche and Swing that followed.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive at the venue about two hours before the performance to set up and prepare. We usually perform 2 sets of 45–60 minutes, but the duration and schedule can be adapted to the client’s specific needs.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we are happy to perform outdoors, provided that the weather and surrounding conditions are suitable for the performance and the safety of both the musicians and the equipment.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We generally perform from our own setlist, but we are happy to accommodate one or two song requests per performance, depending on the time available and whether the song fits our musical style and repertoire.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Here is an example of a review from one of our recent wedding clients:

“We chose Le Chat Rouge for our wedding in Santo Stefano di Sessanio and were absolutely delighted! From the very beginning, they created a wonderful atmosphere, engaging all our guests and turning the evening into a real celebration. Music, energy and professionalism—they perfectly accompanied our special day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
