French gypsy swing virtuosos La Mauvaise Réputation are Australia’s most authentic interpreters of the wild rhythms and passion of 1930s Parisian hot jazz and the beautiful melodies of classic French chanson - sung en français, bien sûr.

Featuring a core line-up of vocals/guitar (Paul Gillett), accordion (Salvatore Greco) and double-bass (Enzo Ruberto) the group is joined regularly by some of Australia's best gypsy jazz guitarists to make up a quartet. The group’s repertoire specialises in the timeless songs of Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet and Serge Gainsbourg and Jean Sablon and the unique sounds of Django Reinhardt.
