Barrio Manouche is Javier Jiménez's new acoustic adventure in the San Francisco Bay Area. Barrio's core members hail from Madrid, Quebec and Northern California, but they are frequently joined by artists from around the globe. The band's first EP "Detrás de la Sombra" is most easily classified as gypsy jazz, but is also deeply influenced by a range of musical traditions. From the swing of Louis Armstrong & Sidney Bechet, to the hot jazz of Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli, to the flamenco firepower of Paco de Lucía & Camarón, to the avant grade sounds of Ornette Coleman & John Coltrane. Barrio's sound is difficult to classify but instantly recognizable.
