Elias Prinz Trio

Every Tuesday from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., Chez Georges welcomes the Alex Swing Events collective, which offers a varied and quality program, following a repertoire of swing / gypsy jazz, the music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, and many others!

Chez Georges is a very pleasant wine bar on rue des canettes, with a magnificent vaulted cellar in the basement, transformed on Tuesday into a gypsy jazz club

Strongly influenced by the musical language of the Sinti, Django Reinhardt and the modern jazz
manouche scene, Elias Prinz found his own tone. Paired with selected pieces of valse musette and
contemporary elements, his playing is virtuous but always melodic and with a lot of sensitivity.
Through friendships with german sinti musicians, he had the chance to dive deep in their music and
tradition and could create his authentic, melodic and unique style that lights up the fire and beauty
of jazz manouche.

Together with rhythmguitarist Jean-Baptiste Delattre, and doublebassist Ida Koch, they present an acoustic trio program of original compositions, traditional songs and selected pieces by Django Reinhardt.

The 23- year old guitarist was recently awarded with the first price of the german Kurt Maas Jazz
Award 2023.

Regine Glöckner: "The 23 year old Guitar player arrived in the jazzscene with his compositional
signature and his sinti music background. The listeners were flashed by the intensity of the trio, the
artistic brilliance and inventive exclusivity of Prinz own compositions and arrangements.“
