Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra Presents
Jazz de Paris
Featuring Enion Pelta-Tiller on Vocal & Violin
Drew Zaremba, Artistic Director
The CJRO returns to the distinctive sound of jazz manouche with a fresh take on a program first explored last spring. Inspired by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli, Jazz de Paris brings hot strings and swing to Dazzle for an intimate evening of driving rhythms, inventive improvisation, and plenty of musical interplay.
Violinist and vocalist Enion Pelta-Tiller joins the CJRO small band for a concert rooted in the music Reinhardt and Grappelli who helped define in 1930s Paris. Their legendary Quintette du Hot Club de France blended American jazz with European and Romani musical influences, creating a distinctive acoustic style built around guitar, violin, bass, and propulsive rhythm. The CJRO puts its own stamp on the music, moving between jazz manouche favorites, swinging standards, and selections that venture beyond the traditional Hot Club repertoire.
The CJRO small band features Jared Cathey (saxophone), Ben Hall (piano), Mike Abbott (guitar), and Gonzalo Teppa (bass), along with special guest Enion Pelta-Tiller (violin and vocal).
Pelta-Tiller, co-founder of the internationally known band Taarka, is equally at home as a violinist, vocalist, and improviser. Her wide-ranging musical background makes her a natural fit for an evening where Django-inspired swing sets the stage for something fresh.
