Django Reinhardt’s unmistakable cool and jumpin’ joie de vivre made him an icon for an unlikely range of luminaries. There, guitar greats from Carlos Santana to Eric Clapton cite Django as an influence. Furthermore, Jimi Hendrix named his Band of Gypsies in tribute, and Willie Nelson adopted his influence in country-swing.The Django Festival Allstars have grown into a brilliantly cohesive group of star musicians who’ve taken America by storm. Here, they perform at top concert halls and festivals to standing ovations.
The music speaks of Paris in the 20s and 30s when “gitane” music filled the air. There, it was in the cafés, the streets, in the countryside, a romantic Paris with lovers, campfires. Also, a time of Montmartre, la belle époque, le Boudon café, café au lait, luscious pastry, and a great glass of wine. Django was “king”. He teamed with jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli and made musical history.
The Django Festival Allstars bring this music to today… combining known standards and original music to intoxicating effect!! Now, they swing like crazy and will break your heart with a ballad.
