Matt Holborn and Kourosh Kanani

Matt Holborn (violin) and Kourosh Kanani (guitar) have been partners in jazz for more than a decade, taking the acoustic stylings of Django Reinhardt and the sound of Jazz Manouche as inspiration to create their own improvisational language.

This dynamic acoustic jazz duo is a unique showcase of two young musicians at the top of their game. The show is a mixture of their favourite jazz standards, American show tunes and the old swing of Django Reinhardt with an added sprinkle of some of the various forms of folk music from Eastern Europe, Iran and India that has influenced their individual styles. Both Matt and Kourosh have travelled the world playing at various jazz festivals and venues.
