The Manouche session that happened every sunday, at the Creperie Manouche, in Berlin... Hosted by Carlos Sant'anna, this wild jam was the meeting place for swing and jazz musicians after the working weekends, and was always quite free styled forward, and had this unxepected vibe... Anything could happen.
Basically it was a great party, in our way of praising the eternal composers and their great songs, and of celebrating a time period when living through music was loads of fun.
Each session gathered many different musicians, but the basic 'Manouche Orchestar' band was more or less this bunch:
