The Girl from Ipanema
Jazz cool and hot, mainstream, Latin and gypsy, on electric and acoustic guitars, with delicious guest vocals.
Jazzle is an exciting guitar duo whose music covers a spectrum of jazz styles from modern mainstream standards to gently swinging Latin and driving gypsy rhythms.
Lead guitarist Dave Reay combines a unique fingerstyle approach with plectrum, hybrid and two-handed techniques. He lists Joe Pass, Barney Kessel and Larry Coryell among his influences. Ace rhythm guitarist Tony Baker’s playing shows his admiration of the gypsy jazz guitar style of Django Reinhardt and his brother Josef.
Jazzle’s varied live act includes an electric set of mostly modern mainstream numbers, an acoustic set with Latin and Django Reinhardt (sure to get the crowd up dancing) and a vocal set, featuring Gay Reay as guest singer. Dave’s original tunes are becoming an increasing and popular part of their performances.
