SUMMARY:Django Festival Allstars
DESCRIPTION:“buoyant rhythm\, blinding technique\, solid entertainment!” – New York Times\n\n\n“a jazz lioness with a pure tone… and sure swing style.” — JazzTimes\n  \nDjango Reinhardt’s unmistakable cool and jumping joie de vivre have made him an icon. Many guitar luminaries cite his inspiration\, including guitar greats Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton. Moreover\, Jimi Hendrix named his Band of Gypsys in tribute to Reinhardt. Willie Nelson adopted his influence in playing country swing. \nThe star musicians of the Django Festival Allstars have grown into a brilliantly cohesive group. They have performed at top concert halls and festivals to standing ovations. Also\, they have wowed audiences in venues across North America.  \nThe group’s music transports listeners to Paris in the 1920s and ’30s. Here\, the All-stars bring Reinhardt’s music into the 21st century. They honor traditions and standards while adding their own interpretations\, arrangements\, and original compositions. They swing like crazy and will break your heart with a ballad.   \nLed for years by guitar master Dorado Schmitt\, the Allstars are now fronted by Dorado’s son\, Samson. Samson has been playing professionally since he was twelve years old and has several recordings to his credit. Flanked by the other superb musicians in this group\, the future of Django’s music is in good hands indeed! \nVeronica Swift has made her mark on the international jazz scene as one of the star vocalists of her era. Now\, Swift expands her style\, establishing herself as a skilled rock and soul singer as well as a dynamic performer. Here\, she transcends styles\, and fully embodies them with authenticity to tell a story. This makes her one of the most skillful singers in any genre and displays her theatrical approach. \nVeronica Swift\, vocals\nSamson Schmitt\, lead guitar\, vocals\nPierre Blanchard\, violin\nLudovic Beier\, accordion and accordina\nAntonio Licusati\, bass\nFrancko Mehrstein\, rhythm guitar \nRecommended for fans of Django Reinhardt\, John Jorgenson\, Stephane Wrembel and Biréli Lagrène.
