Step into the cafés of 1930’s Paris without ever leaving Northeast Ohio! Forest City Django Club is a five-piece ensemble honoring the timeless music of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France. From jazz manouche classics to sultry chansons from vocalist Kara Scott – you won’t want to miss this unique and vibrant show.
Gypsy jazz, pioneered in the 1930s by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli’s Quintet du Hot Club de France, is distinguished by its vibrant acoustic rhythms (la pompe) and virtuosic soloing. The Forest City Django Club brings this timeless style to life in the heart of Cleveland.
Forest City Django Club features: Greg Smith (violin), Max Hyde-Perry (bass), Steve Karla (guitar), Caroline King (accordion), Brad Smedley (guitar), and Special Guest Kara Scott on vocals!
