It was in 2000 that these five musicians, brought together by a common passion, took the route of swing. Fans of Django they took an interest in the gypsy world and gypsy-jazz. "Les Pommes de ma Douche" still claim their non-gypsy culture by paying tribute to French songs and by creating the meeting of two musical worlds.
After playing together for ten years, they have developed a blend that is nice to hear. No frills for them, no technical demos, the main thing is to play with enthusiasm and passion.

 Pierre Delaveau

This multi-instrumentalist has solid experience.Trained as an accordionist, he plays in the Chevallier Quartet (classical quartet). Between dances and concerts, he has been teaching the accordion and guitar for over thirty years...


Laurent Delaveau
He provides with his father the rhythmic part of "Les pommes…". Bassist by training, he has been interested in the double-bass since 2000. Just like his friend Rouquier, he was first seen in rock concerts... then dances. He then evolved in French music and swing. For nearly ten years he was Pascal Sevran’s bassist on television or on tour...

Dominique Rouquier

He spent the first part of his life rocking to Led Zep songs before returning to the jazz of Django that rocked his childhood. He immersed himself in the very demonstrative universe of the gypsy guitar. Besides his talent on stage, Dominique teaches the guitar at the Blois Conservatory of Music...


Laurent Zeller
He started the violin at the age of six. He studied for a few years in Strasbourg, where he befriended Tchavolo Schmitt. After winning a first prize of the conservatory and after various experiences Laurent finally found his definitive style in swing, while remaining attentive to the great masters. Laurent has also worked with Raphaël Faÿs for the past two years...

David Rivière

He is the third virtuoso in the group. He began the accordion at the age of eight. Very quickly, David’s talent stood out and he had a few lessons with Joe Rossi. Influenced by Jo Privat, Gus Viseur or Richard Galliano, his accordion is reminiscent of the best of “musette”, a genre particularly dear to Django’s heart...
