DjangoFest San Francisco / Mill Valley 2007, brought to you by the producers of DjangoFest Northwest and DjangoFest LA, returns to the 142 Throckmorton Theatre for a four-day festival celebrating the music and spirit of the great French/Belgian Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt. Join us and other Gypsy Jazz fans, players and enthusiasts from around the world to congregate in the wildly scenic Mill Valley and attend a series of concerts, workshops and impromptu djam sessions featuring top internationally renowned players mixing it up with local stars and aficionados of the genre.

More than a concert, this was a celebration of the return of hard-driving, melodic gypsy jazz, building on the remarkable creativity of Django Reinhardt and his works, with dedicated fans that know what they want to hear!    – Harvey Barkan-LA Jazz Scene

The festivities take place at 142 Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, just across the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco, California, in beautiful Marin county.
