The Coquette Jazz Band
In 2016 Mátyás Papp and Mátyás Bartha formed The Coquette Jazz Band to bring back the golden age of jazz to audiences across Europe.
The main profiles of the ensemble are danceable swing music from the 1930s and the sound of the Dixieland revival era. The Coquette Jazz Band plays their own innovative arrangements along with popular melodies from Fats Waller, John Kirby, Bix Beiderbecke and Duke Ellington.
