The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley presents for four nights a Django Reinhardt Festival. Band members include Dorado Schmitt (guitar gypsy legend from the Lorraine region of France), Samson Schmitt (young gypsy guitar star, son of Dorado), Ludovic Beier (accordion whiz from Paris), Peter Beets (pianist from Holland) and Brian Torff (bass, toured with Grappelli for years). Set time Thursday through Saturday are at 7:30PM and 9:30PM. Set time on Sunday is 7:30PM.

Legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhard’s “hot swing” style and music caused a sensation in Europe in the 30’s and 40’s and is just as “hot” today. Django along with famed Stephane Grappelli were the stars of The Quintet of the Hot Club of France, which defined this style of music, known as “Le Jazz Hot”!

DJANGO was a gypsy guitar virtuoso, called a genius by many. His influence lives on through recordings and talented musicians who continue to enjoy and appreciate his very special and original style of swing music…which today we even call “Hip Hot!” The DJANGO REINHARDT FESTIVAL, produced by Pat Phillips and Ettore Stratta, serves to preserve and carry forward the musical legacy of DJANGO as well as the many possibilities of creativity that can grow from his enormous talent and inspiration by presenting the top players in the world of this music.
