Evan Christopher's Django A La Creole
This event has already happened!
European Gypsy swing with the music and rhythms of New Orleans, the Caribbean and Brazil. Elegant and impassioned clarinettist, Evan Christopher combines virtuosity and immaculate taste with a strong root in New Orleans jazz. With guitarists David Blenkhorn and Dave Kelbie, and bassist Sebastien Girardot, he celebrates the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt and enlivens swing-era classics with fresh interpretations and virtuosic improvisation. Their first CD, Django à la Créole was released to much worldwide acclaim. The 2nd, ‘Finesse’ was the 2010 Sunday Times jazz album of the year!
Evan is an activist regarding Hurricane Katrina and will lead a pre-concert 30 minute Q and A at 7pm
[Evan] is, in my estimation, not only the greatest jazz clarinettist alive, but one of the greatest of all time AHMET ERTEGUN, FOUNDING CHAIRMAN OF ATLANTIC RECORDS
