A summer evening full of swing, chanson, and Berlin bohemian in Amberg

On July 21, 2026, Mr. Pompadour brings Django’s Songs to the romantic inner courtyard of the city library for the 31st Amberg Summer Festival. The ensemble combines cheerful swing, chansons about life and love, along with a hint of melancholy, to create a concert experience that makes jazz manouche, Sinti swing, and European songwriting immediately tangible. On stage, musical virtuosity meets variety spirit, multi-voiced singing encounters winking stories.

Between Paris, Berlin and the great live atmosphere

The band was formed in 2014 in Berlin from an illustrious circle of musicians and has since earned a solid place in the scene with its independent blend of swinging lightness and controlled wildness. Mr. Pompadour continues the classic Django-Reinhardt sound: guitar, violin, double bass, and vocals form a colorful orchestration that immediately sets in motion while leaving space for the finest nuances.

A repertoire that carries stories

At the center are songs about longing, love, wanderlust, and the restless heart of European musical tradition. The current program refers to the so-called European Songbook and spans the arc from stylistic role models to contemporary concert moments where the audience quickly becomes part of the evening. Particularly appealing is the mix of French elegance, Berlin playfulness, and the spontaneous audience atmosphere that only arises at genuine summer festival concerts.

Jazz Manouche with character and edge

Jazz Manouche was shaped in the 1930s in Paris and thrives on precision, drive, and the interplay of solos and rhythmic synchronization. This is precisely where Mr. Pompadour comes in: The band plays with tempo, timing, and dynamics without losing sight of the melody. Additionally, there are singing saws, humorous moderation, and moments that make the concert experience pleasantly unpredictable.
