Coolidge Theatre, Deane Center
Tickets $25
This is the fourth of the six-concert WCCA 2023-2024 Season.
Music of this band has been called “Gypsy Jazz” after the dynamic string-driven swing of Django Reinhard and Stephanie Grappelli in 1930s Paris. Jorgenson’s skillful playing of the guitar, solo clarinet, and bouzouki amazes audiences. They are the only American act to headline the Django Reinhardt Memorial Festival in France, and to be featured at other “Djangofests” in the U.S. and internationally.
