Django Festival All-Stars Evoke the Sounds of 1930s Paris at Nighttown

Wed 6/28 @ 7PM

The gypsy-style jazz of 1930s Paris associated with guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli has only seemed to grow in appeal as an influence in recent years. That’s why you see the “Hot Club” bands named after Reinhardt and Grappelli’s legendary ensemble, as well as groups like the Django Festival All-Stars who’ll perform at Nighttown this week.

Lead guitarist Samson Schmitt, accordion/accordina player Ludovic Beier, violinist Pierre Blanchard, bassist Antonio Licusati and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Doudou Cuillerier create their own arrangements using Reinhardt’s music as their raw material. Tickets are $30.
