THU, November 14, 7:30pm

Dorado Schmitt, violin; Samson & Amati Schmitt, guitars; Francko Mehrstein, guitar; Gino Roman, bass

Founded by the revered gypsy guitarist and violinist Dorado Schmitt, the Django Festival Allstars pay homage to the “hot jazz” of legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. This brilliantly cohesive group of world-class musicians 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.

‘Hot Swing’ has its roots in American popular music and in the reverence for Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and other top American jazz figures. The DFA take the essence of that Hot Swing into the 21st century with their own creative interpretations, arrangements, and original compositions. There’s nothing like The Django Festival Allstars to bring pure JOY to an audience . Their music  is ‘happy’, infectious, and full of love.

Presented by Taos Jazz Bebop Society and supported by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.
