Nico Torrese and Daniel Brustman met six years ago in Beijing, China. They developed a unique style of playing gypsy jazz arranged for two guitars — the rhythm guitar plays bass lines on the 5th and 6th strings, a technique derived from American bluegrass music, thus allowing them to perform without a bassist. Initially focusing on the music of gypsy legend Django Reinhardt, they gradually expanded their repertoire to include American jazz standards, blues and 1960’s French pop.
Zoe Wang has played the accordion since she was four years old. She graduated from the Tianjin Conservatory of Music. Afterwards, she has periodically studied in France under the acclaimed accordionist Frédéric Deschamps. She began playing with Torrese and Brustman in 2007.
