Carington Swing

Join us at Scopo Divino for Carington Swing to be transported back to a 1930’s Parisian cafe. Christophe Carington is a San Francisco based American jazz guitarist, composer, and arranger – mixing the sounds of Traditional Jazz with Latin, Eastern European folk, and Classical to forge his own energetic, yet romantic style of acoustic guitar playing. Their fiery, yet romantic style pays homage to the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Carington Swing remains faithful to the original instrumentation by featuring violin, bass and guitars, but pushes the sonic boundaries of Gypsy Jazz by mixing in the sounds of Latin, Eastern European folk, and Classical music in their original compositions and soloing. Comprised of accomplished musicians from the Bay Area, the band is led by lead guitarist Christophe Carington. Christophe has lived in Paris, played Gypsy Jazz around the world, and has toured the US with the famous Hot Club of San Francisco.
