The tradition of gypsy jazz is alive and well in Colorado. Denver-based La Pompe combines rustic gypsy swing with vintage blues and soulful originals to create a unique sound and style. The string quartet features two guitars, vocals, upright bass and violin and crafts a musical pulse full of energy and excitement. The band has been nominated by multiple publications for best jazz band on the Front Range and won the 2017 Producers Choice award at the Westword Music Showcase. With that, on top of headlining spots at City Park Jazz and the Speakeasy Soiree, and a prestigious recurring weekly gig at Denver's Union Station, La Pompe is quickly becoming "Denver's Jazz Band."

Their debut all-original album is recorded by Mighty Fine Productions and mastered with Grammy award winning David Glasser. By combining their love of Gypsy jazz with the diverse musical influences of each band member, La Pompe has managed to cultivate a sound that is both fresh and steeped in tradition.

"Playing a classic, fun and funky style of jazz inspired by the roaring 1920s and early days of jazz, La Pompe finds a very relevant place among the vibrant world of Denver’s music scene." - Culture Magazine
