Pete Sheppard is a Gypsy Jazz and Jazz Swing guitarist based in Winchester. He regularly teams up with and accompanies a variety of other musicians to form duos, trios and quartets ranging from two guitars with visiting violin, clarinet and double bass as and when circumstances permit. His repertoire includes many of the great jazz standards from the '30s, '40s and '50s, bossa novas, and many of the compositions from the legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli.
He can often be regularly heard performing with his own band Jazz Gitanes, in and around the South of England and with many top performers such as Michael Ward-Bergeman, Mike Piggot, Daniel Teper, Andy Aitchison, Nils Solberg, Dave Kelbie, Ducato Pietrowoski, and even Gary Potter at Le QuecumBar, London's home to Gypsy jazz. He has also performed with the Le Quecumbar All Stars at the L'Esprit Manouche gypsy jazz festival in Birmingham and on the recent Le Quecumbar All Stars CD that was published in 2007.
