Django à la Créole celebrates the music of legendary guitarist, Django Reinhardt, with a magical fusion of his Gypsy swing with hot syncopations from the Caribbean, Brazil, and the streets of New Orleans. Elegant yet impassioned, New Orleans-based clarinetist Evan Christopher's style is steeped in the tradition exemplified by the early jazz masters.
With hot young guitarists David Blenkhorn and Dave Kelbie, and swinging bassist Sebastien Girardot, an evening of swing-era classics with fresh interpretations and virtuoso improvisation.
