Django Festival Allstars

Django’s unmistakable cool and jumpin’ joie de vivre have made him an icon for an unlikely range of luminaries from Carlos Santana to Eric Clapton, guitar greats! Jimi Hendrix named his “big band of gypsies” in tribute,  and Willie Nelson adopted his influence in “country-swing.”

The music speaks of Paris in the '20s and '30s when “gitane” music filled the air, in the cafés, the streets, in the countryside, a romantic Paris with lovers, campfires, 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. They swing like crazy and will break your heart with a ballad.
