DJANGO FESTIVAL ALLSTARS

NOV. 14, TCA

Founded by the revered gypsy guitarist and violinist Dorado Schmitt, the Django Festival Allstars (DFA!) pay homage to the “hot jazz” of legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. This brilliantly cohesive group of world-class musicians has developed their exciting and refined sound for the past 20 years, performing at top concert halls and festivals to standing ovations worldwide. Their driving, swinging style harkens back to the 30s and 40s in Europe, where Django Reinhardt teamed up with the great jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli– and made an indelible mark on the world of swing jazz. Their Hot Club Quintette of France was one of the greatest musical partnerships in European Jazz history.
