20th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: FOUR DAYS... FOUR DIFFERENT SHOWS!!
Django à Gogo is a music festival dedicated to Django Reinhardt, one of the greatest Gypsy guitarists who ever lived. The festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will feature a series of concerts with the Stephane Wrembel band from NYC.
They will be joined by very special guests from France: Simba Baumgartner, who is none other than Django Reinhardt’s grandson and a terrific virtuoso in his own right, and Aurore Voilqué on violin, who is simply an incredible musician and the most in-demand violinist in France today.They will also be joined by 20-year-old guitar virtuoso Sam Farthing from Baltimore, and Bobby Henrie, the great guitar master located in Ithaca, NY. There will be guitar workshops as well, open to all levels and ages (info listed at www.Stephanewrembel.com).
THURSDAY OCTOBER 12 (show @ 8pm)
“From India to early Django”... the band will start by exploring the sounds of India, the Middle Eastern and North African oud, showing how these are the very roots of it all. They will then demonstrate how Eastern European folk traditions (Tziganes and Klezmer) and Western European classical music came into play to form the next level of the harmonic framework for Django’s unique style. This was followed by the musette and early Jazz influences. Thus, Django the musician was born.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 13 (show @ 8pm)
“Traditional Gypsy Jazz and late Django”... the band will continue their journey by going through the whole second part of late Django’s hot jazz, which had by then been heavily influenced by Bebop and had become extremely sophisticated. This evolution gave birth to the now traditional Gypsy Jazz, a completely unique and virtuosic way of playing the guitar born from the Django angle. The band will also play some of Stephane’s compositions, including ‘Bistro Fada’ and ‘Big Brother’, two themes he wrote for Grammy Award and Academy Award-winning Woody Allen movies.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 14 (show @ 8pm)
The third show of the cycle will focus on traditional Gypsy Jazz, Stephane Wrembel’s songs and the specific angle of Dutch Gypsy Jazz style, featuring the 20 year old guitar genius Sam Farthing. Sam has developped his skills working with Stochelo Rosenberg and the other Dutch guitar masters. They use a specific right hand technic, and have slightly different influences than the French masters, having more Flamenco sounds in their repertoire. Sam is recognized in the community as one of the great young virtuosos. The full lineup will include the Stephane Wrembel band, Simba Baumgartner, Sam Farthing and Aurore Voilqué.
SUNDAY OCTOBER 15 (show @ noon)
This will be the fourth and last chapter of this whole celebration of Django à Gogo 20th anniversary. The band will include the amazing Bobby Henrie, from Ithaca NY. Bobby is famous not only for his great virtuosity, but also for his great lyricism, sense of melody and touch. The music will tend to be turned more toward late Django and his bebop influences, while remaining a complete hot Gypsy Jazz set. The full lineup will include the Stephane Wrembel band, Simba Baumgartner, Bobbie Henrie and Aurore Voilqué.
