Django All Star

As part of the evenings sponsored by Thomas Dutronc.

Django Reinhardt was born on January 23, 1910. He had an extraordinary destiny: as a young gypsy growing up in the Paris area, he suffered a serious accident at the age of 18, leaving his left hand half-paralyzed. The story could have ended that way, but that was without counting on the genius of this man who, in just a few years, was to revolutionize the world of guitar and jazz!

More than 100 years later, his work is still at the heart of French jazz, and it's only natural that Jazz Club Etoile should pay tribute to him at this monthly event sponsored by Thomas Dutronc. 

For the occasion, we've brought together the crème de la crème of Gypsy jazz:
Adrien Moignard, a key figure in Manouche guitar, Simba Baumgartner, Django Reinhard's great-grandson, Noé Reinhardt, also from Django's family, a guitarist known for his elegant, incisive playing, Hugo Guezbar, a young guitar virtuoso, Costel Nitescu, a violinist who needs no introduction, and Christophe Cravero, a cross-over violinist. For the rhythm section, Mathieu Chatelain on pompe and Jérémie Arranger on double bass, two essential accompanists to the style who have been playing alongside the greats for over 15 years now!
