About Inky Shadows

Inky Shadows is a duo that plays make-believe jazz, acoustic noir, electric blanc and other made-up genres to describe original instrumental music. Their sets are a joyful mix of longer, meditative pieces, tightly-arranged short form compositions and the occasional avant-garde flourish when appropriate. A subtle nod to the Manouche tradition. Think Django's lesser-known cousin; that the gypsy-jazz drop-out that later became a beatnik. Appropriate wherever ears are present.

Featuring George Mandis on guitar and Chris Frank on bass.
