Swingin Through the Classics!

Dutchman, Tim Kliphuis ranks among the world's finest jazz violinists. He has often been named the successor of Stéphane Grappelli, taking his legacy into the 21st Century by infusing Gypsy Swing with Folk and Classical music. Tim’s spirit and style are reminiscent of the late, great jazz fiddler: virtuoso playing with a great love for melody.

In this great new show, Tim is joined by Britain’s top bassist, Len Skeat,  Mitch Dalton on guitar and rising star Nick Dawson on piano for an amazing show featuring well known classics such as Humoresque, Prelude in E Minor, Liebestraum, Ave Maria and Melancholy Serenade, all transformed into swinging jazz tunes!

“A charming, uplifting performance from a future great ... Check him out.”
Barry Gordon, The Scotsman

“Plays with an astonishingly fluid versatility”
Time Out

“Stéphane Grappelli’s style is alive and well in the hands of Tim Kliphuis”
Nigel Kennedy
