Bachand was only eleven years old when he proved that he knew his way around six strings, and ten years later he is a multi-instrumentalist who masters gypsy jazz, swing, and manouche like no other.
Bachand is by no means a slavish copyist, but deals with Reinhardt’s legacy playfully – check the dreamy smattering of Sixties pop in “Fading Light”. He is coming to Brussels in the company of accordionist Gwen Cresens and contrabassist Ben Faes.
