A Celebration of Django Reinhardt’s Legacy ReimaginedThe London Django Collective are a dynamic group of London-based jazz musicians and passionate custodians of the musical legacy left behind by the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt.
Highly regarded improvisers in their own right, each member of the collective brings a distinct voice to the music, carefully brushing the dust off classic repertoire while weaving in fresh, original compositions. Every performance is an exhilarating improvisational showcase: a meeting point between tradition and forward-thinking creativity, and a testing ground for brand-new material.
Co-founded by violinist Matt Holborn and guitarist Harry Diplock, the London Django Collective was established in 2019 with the aim of bringing together some of the city’s finest players to cultivate a bold, contemporary gypsy jazz sound. With a new album set for recording in the autumn, the band will premiere original compositions alongside selections from Django’s later repertoire, a period rich with harmonic sophistication and daring improvisation.
