Full Biography
The Futuristic Gramophones blur the line between present and past, modern pop and hot jazz!
Formed in 2014 by the three world class musicians Francesca, Aliocha and Giovanni, the Gramophones are a jazz trio based in London that brings a mixture of old timeless jazz classics from the 1920's and modern pop hits rearranged in the same vintage fashion.
In their shows, nothing is left to chance. Everything, from the choice of the repertoire, to the visual style, is carefully chosen to take the venue and the audience to an alternate reality where Taylor Swift shares the stage with Louis Armstrong, where Bessie Smith jams with The White Stripes, and Benny Goodman swings with Meghan Trainor.

Jennie M booked The Futuristic Gramophones for their Wedding in Gloucestershire • June 2024
“We really couldn’t have hoped for a better wedding band. They were adaptable, friendly, communicative, and even learned a specially-written song as a surprise for the bride. The ambience they created as our guests mingled, chatted and dined was exactly what we wanted, and so many of our guests told us they loved them and wanted to know more about them. Musically, they were great - beautiful vocals, and everything played with a very relaxed and engaging skill. We’d absolutely recommend them and would hire them again without a moment’s hesitation.”
