Django Festival Allstar

The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes the hot gypsy jazz sound of the Django Festival Allstars on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 7:30 pm.

The Django Festival Allstars, have grown into a brilliantly cohesive group of star musicians who’ve taken America by storm, performing the music of Django Reinhardt and more at top concert halls and festivals to standing ovations. Django’s unmistakable cool and jumpin’ joie de vivre made him an icon for an unlikely range of luminaries and guitar greats from Carlos Santana to Eric Clapton. Jimi Hendrix named his “big band of gypsies” in tribute and Willie Nelson adopted his influence in “country-swing.”

Django’s music speaks of Paris in the 20s and 30s when “gitane” music filled the air, in the cafés, the streets, in the countryside, a romantic Paris with lovers, campfires, a time of Montmartre, la belle époque, le Boudon café, café au lait, luscious pastry, and a great glass of wine. He teamed with jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli and made musical history. The Django Festival Allstars bring this music to ‘today’… combining known standards and original music. They swing like crazy and will break your heart with a ballad.
