Deeply steeped in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, while at the same time committed to furthering the Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz) tradition in the spirit of modern players like Birelli LaGrene and Florin Niculescu, violinist and singer Enion Pelta-Tiller and her colleagues David Tiller (vocals, Selmer-style guitar) and Aesop Pelta-Tiller (upright bass) present a unique Jazz Manouche experience. Yes, it's a family band, in the spirit of many of the greatest Jazz Manouche ensembles.
This concert blends the roots of 1930s European string band swing with modern Romani music, bebop and modern jazz, and popular music, as tradition dictates. Expect to hear beloved tunes by Django and his musical descendants side by side with "pomped"-up versions of Beyonce and Eurythmics, accompanied by entertaining anecdotes about Jazz Manouche musical style and history.
Enion, David, and Aesop have played with members of the Robin Nolan Trio and Pearl Django as well as being fixtures in the Colorado Gypsy Jazz scene.
