Pine Island violinist David Gusakov, twins Rob and Jim McCuen on solo guitar and double bass, and rhythm guitarist Jared Volpe make up Vermont's newest acoustic, Hot Club style quartet. Visit the links above to find out more about Swing Noire.

What made (and makes) this music unique is the use of 2 – 3 guitars of the Selmer/Maccaferri style, double bass, and in the traditional lineup, a swingin' violin. We take inspiration from the Romany, Sinti and Manouche diaspora who influenced Django Reinhardt along with the American Hot Jazz of the early 1900's.

Swing Noire is proud to be sponsored by Michel Wegen and his world famous Wegen Picks. Wegen picks are the highest quality picks available and are favorites of discerning musicians the world over.
