7th Unit Jazz Project comprise some of Los Angeles' finest jazz musicians who banded together to perform top-notch arrangements of classic jazz tunes featuring incredible solos. I believe that our band is a bit unique in that we provide the richness and power of a "Big Band" using only 7 musicians. And to make things easier, we are always willing to work within your budgetary constraints. Band members have performed with many top-notch artists and are well-versed in performing a variety of musical genres, including movie and television scores, musical theatre, symphonic orchestras and jazz ensembles.

Hot Swing, Gypsy Jazz and More!

The Idiomatiques, based in Southern California, have captivated audiences throughout the past decade. Their musical influences are eclectic, encompassing rock, R&B, Latin, bossa nova, and both traditional and modern jazz, yet their music remains firmly rooted in the style of Django Reinhardt.

Their song "C'est La Vie" earned them the unique distinction of being the only Gypsy Jazz band to feature on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart, where it remained in the top 30 for eleven weeks. The band members have also contributed to the Sharmat/Andersson "Strings" albums, a staple on SiriusXM's Escape channel for the past five years.

Members of The Idiomatiques have performed with notable Gypsy Jazz musicians such as Moses Rosenberg, Fapy Lafertin, Paulus Schäfer, Joscho Stephan, and Samuel Farthing. Their versatile talents extend beyond the Gypsy Jazz realm, with collaborations including Boyz Il Men, Ziggy Marley, David Foster, Kenny Loggins, and more.
