Cameron Jones is a guitarist, composer, festival director and educator. With his Selmer-style guitar, he harnesses the vibrancy of authentic manouche jazz. He uses percussive guitar rhythms to complement bright, expressive melodies.
A manouche jazz storyteller
Five annual pilgrimages across Europe saw Jones returning to the source of the genre. There, he traced the footsteps of jazz legend Django Reinhardt. It earned him the finest training any manouche guitarist could hope for: mentorship from the late Reinhardt’s family and friends.
The result is a rare depth of authenticity that Jones brings to his repertoire in Australia. He introduces songs with tales of original time and place. In the true spirit of gypsy jazz, nothing about Jones’ performances is repetitive. Audiences listen in anticipation as he follows each piece in the moment. It’s dangerously spontaneous.
'I am most impressed with his understanding and execution of the Gypsy Swing style.’ - Hank B Marvin | Lead guitarist for The Shadows
In Australia, Jones thrives on gigs with like-minded musicians. He’s a member of Spyglass Gypsies and Gadjo Guitars and has performed with Daniel Weltlinger, Ian Date and Ewan McKenzie.
‘Cameron can really swing and is masterfully representing Django’s music down under.’ - Robin Nolan | World-renowned gypsy jazz guitarist

Honey Hive are Blue Mountains locals, vocalist Kristina Frazer and guitarist Karl Javernig.
The name comes from a line from the poem “Waipounamu” by Poet Laureate David Eggleton “the honeyed heart of the hive”.
Kristina and Karl’s first ever meeting was for a very short notice gig in the Blue Mountains. A musical simpatico was clear from the start, as each song came out with an ease and certainty that had everybody smiling, and feeling they were listening to musicians who had been playing together for years.
Honey Hive play jazz. Not the hard to listen to type that can be a test of endurance for the listener, but a style that is steeped in the craft of song writing. Songs by the great jazz composers of their day; Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Richard Rogers and Hoagy Carmichael to name but a few.
Kristina sings these songs how they were meant to be sung; with wit, charm and a crystal clear, natural delivery that does these magnificent songs the absolute credit they deserve.
Karl accompanies on guitar with a unique style that is all his own. His carefully considered, fingerstyle approach to playing has a lyricism that can always tease out something special from these songs. It’s the perfect foil to Kristina’s beautiful voice.
