The 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Django Reinhardt Festival!
The Django Festival Allstars bring the music of the legendary Gypsy Jazz Guitarist Django Reinhardt fully into the 21st century. Their unique, high energy performances pay tribute to Reinhardt who is considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Reinhardt’s driving, swinging style became known as ‘hot jazz’ and it continues to grow in popularity throughout the world…in great part to the success of the Django Festival Allstars who honor the traditions of “gypsy jazz” adding their own interpretations, arrangements and original compositions with stunning virtuosity!
This internationally renowned group prominently features one of Europe’s greatest musical families- guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt and his two sons Samson and Amati. The band also features virtuoso violinist Pierre Blanchard and accordionist extraordinaire Ludovic Beier. Rounding out the band is cousins Francko Mehrstein on rhythm guitar and Gino Roman on Bass.
With Special Guests nightly!
"THE BEST JAZZ SHOW IN TOWN"..... "Imagine a stage filled with contemporary Django Reinhardt descendants and you'll get a sense that the collective talent pool on the bandstand is larger than the Arc deTiomphe!" - The Wall Street Journal
