Alexandre Cavaliere Quintet

The classic story of an exceptional talent discovered at a young age is certainly applicable to the violinist Alexandre Cavaliere. At 12 years old, he played the violin at Django d’Or, in Brussels. He made a serious impression on Didier Lockwood and Babik Reinhardt who invited him to join them in Paris straight away, getting his career off to a brilliant start. Then, everything came naturally. Alexandre took the international stages by storm with his father’s band and built up an impressive list of performances. Today, he is returning with a new project which combines gypsy music that is close to his heart (gypsy jazz in the Django Reinhardt style) with a be-bop idiom and modern jazz as well as touches of influence from the likes of Dorado Schmitt and Biréli Lagrène.
