Description

Pat Philips Presents

This Jazz is hot, hot, hot! The Django Festival Allstars honor legendary Romani-French guitarist Django Reinhardt and his unique style of 1930s gypsy jazz, also known as “hot jazz.” Guitar, violin, double bass and accordion will get your heart pumping with swinging rhythms, fiery solos and awe-inspiring technical prowess. It’s a family legacy for group leader gypsy Dorado Schmitt, who plays alongside talented sons Samson and Amati and cousins Francko Mehrstein and Gino Roman. Virtuoso Ludovic Beier, who swings like crazy on the accordion and accordina, joins the family.  The Django Festival Allstars bring the music to 'today' with their driving rhythms  and romantic ballads with new music and some of Django's favorites.   It's the  25th Anniversary of the Django Reinhardt Festival at Birdland, a special night and celebration. There will be a Special Jazz Guest each night: 

11/5:  ANTHONY HERVEY / TOP TRUMPET PLAYER
11/6:  HELIO ALVES / WELL-KNOWN BRAZILIAN PIANIST
11/7: TATIANA EVE-MARIE / YOUNG SWINGING VOCALIST
11/8:  UTE LEMPER / EUROPEAN VOCAL STAR
11/9:  LUCY  YAGHIAZARYN / AMERICAN ARMENIAN VOCALIST
