As part of the evenings sponsored by Thomas Dutronc.Django Reinhardt was born on January 23, 1910. He had an extraordinary destiny: as a young gypsy growing up in the Paris area, he suffered a serious accident at the age of 18, leaving his left hand half-paralyzed. The story could have ended that way, but that was without counting on the genius of this man who, in just a few years, was to revolutionize the world of guitar and jazz!More than 100 years later, his work is still at the heart of French jazz, and it's only natural that Jazz Club Etoile should pay tribute to him at this monthly event sponsored by Thomas Dutronc. For the occasion, we've brought together the crème de la crème of Gypsy jazz:Adrien Moignard, a key figure in Manouche guitar, Simba Baumgartner, Django Reinhard's great-grandson, Noé Reinhardt, also from Django's family, a guitarist known for his elegant, incisive playing, Hugo Guezbar, a young guitar virtuoso, Costel Nitescu, a violinist who needs no introduction, and Christophe Cravero, a cross-over violinist. For the rhythm section, Mathieu Chatelain on pompe and Jérémie Arranger on double bass, two essential accompanists to the style who have been playing alongside the greats for over 15 years now!...

Dans le cadre des soirées parrainées par Thomas Dutronc.Le 23 janvier 1910 naissait Django Reinhardt. Ce personnage a connu un destin hors du commun : jeune manouche ayant grandi dans la zone de Paris, il est victime a 18 ans d'un grave accident qui le laisse avec la main gauche à moitié paralysée. L'histoire aurait pu se terminer ainsi mais c'était sans compter sur le génie de cet homme qui en quelques années allait finalement révolutionner le monde de la guitare et du jazz !Plus de 100 ans après, son oeuvre est toujours au cœur du jazz à la française et c'est tout naturellement que le Jazz Club Etoile a souhaité lui rendre hommage à l'occasion du rendez-vous mensuel parrainé par Thomas Dutronc. Pour l'occasion nous avons regroupé la fine fleur du jazz manouche :Adrien Moignard, figure incontournable de la guitare manouche, Simba Baumgartner, l'arrière-petit-fils de Django Reinhard, Noé Reinhardt, également de la famille de Django, guitariste connu pour son jeu élégant et incisif, Hugo Guezbar, jeune virtuose de la guitare, Costel Nitescu, violoniste qu'on ne présente plus et Christophe Cravero, violoniste cross over. Pour la section rythmique, Mathieu Chatelain à la pompe et Jérémie Arranger à la contrebasse, deux incontournables accompagnateurs du style que l'on retrouve depuis plus de 15 ans maintenant aux côtés des plus grands !Et si tout ce beau monde se retrouve le 23 janvier sur la scène du Jazz Club, c'est grâce à Monsieur Django Reinhardt à qui ils rendront un hommage vibrant !D'autres invités seront peut-être amenés à les rejoindre au cours de la soirée pour célébrer le maître !
