History:
The band Rêve Bohème made its debut in the winter of 1998 in the well-known gypsy jazz restaurant Bistro d'Eustache in Paris. Why this happened in Paris and not in Copenhagen is a long story - so here is the short version.
In 1998 Jens Fuglsang was in Paris to by a guitar and at the same time do some research about Django Reinhardt for a thesis that he was writing. Because of this he had been approached to give a lecture about Django Reinhardt in the Danish Church in Paris. Instead of just talking a bit and playing a few records Jens decided to put together a band in order to play the music live. In addition to the "music lecture" the group managed to play two dates at the Bistro D'Eustache and the Café Atmosphere - both of which are well known for their Gypsy jazz. The trip was great success and during long trip home Rêve Bohème decided to become a "real" band. The name, which means the dream of the gypsy, is taken from an old French waltz written by the accordionist, Jo Privat.
