Sebastian Scotney kindly asked me if it was ok to insert an image I took from Tcha Limberger, the gifted gypsy blind musician, during a little improvised concert. Sure it is!
Here’s a link to his excellent blog, all you want to know about jazz in London! Thanks Sebastian for asking, it’s kind of rare nowadays!

Tcha Limberger was born into a family of musicians. His grandfather was violinist and his father a guitarist. He started playing in his father’s band “De Piottos’ first of course and later became the rhythm guitarist of Waso. When he was seventeen, he started to play violin, inspired by stories of his grandfather, and recordings from Hungarian Toki Horvat. He split with the Orchestra De Piotto’s, and made a trio with his father Vivi and his uncle Bisque Limberger. A year later, they started a band named “Romani” with Koen de Cauter and two of his sons Dajo, Viv. (excerpts from lejazzetal.com)
I was working years ago as a barman in a restaurant which had live music on fridays and saturdays night. I met there almost all the jazz musicians from Belgium and many other world music people, it was funny! So, all this to say it was then I came to know Tcha Limberger: he was playing with Waso, Koen De Cauter and children band. He’s blind, sometimes it take people a time to remark it. I remember one night, during the break, he asked me a straw and a pair of scissors, and he started to make a flute out of the straw! Just to say he’s a wonderful musician and a very nice man, and I was happy to catch him at a friend’s party!
