La Vie en Rose and Gypsy Jazz

Picture
In 2013 Rebecca began a new venture into the world of Gypsy Jazz and Improvisation. It was not without struggles or frustrations, having come from the traditional classical training but it has been entremly rewarding and she wishes she'd started sooner.

La Vie en Rose has been playing together for 10 years. Performances have included: Upton Jazz Festival, Lyme Regis Jazz and Blues Festival and The Royal Albert Hall. www.lavieenrosegypsyjazz.com (Videos found here)

Rebecca also teamed up with David Jones to host a monthly Gypsy Jazz session which currently meets on the last Wednesday of the month at Topsham Brewery.
