X-Wing is a trio formation of different origins and musical fields but a lover of Manouche music, following the tradition of Old Jazz of New Orleans, Blues and Swing, this style of jazz that originated in the United States towards the end of the 1910s, becoming one of the most musical genres in the 30’s & 40’s.
This group can be used for any musical activity or event, and uses instruments common in jazz, such as a rhythm section consisting of double bass, guitar, and drum percussion, and the brass of the trumpet and the much-loved color of the voice.
The band’s swing preferentially uses medium and fast tempos, generalizes melodic riffs (as a resource of tension, it is a short phrase repeated several times, with a final crescendo) and frees the role of percussion from certain restrictions that it had had until then.
And the role of the soloist becomes more important, with clear, recognizable melodies and energetic solos that are perfect for dancing.
The rhythmic base has special relevance as the driving force of the band.
A highly acclaimed repertoire with a sound inspired by the Jazz Manouche of Django Reinhardt, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzerald… as well as his signature version of rock songs with a swing sound.
