Event Description
Van Django is a Vancouver based string swing jazz quartet whose music is well-rooted in the gypsy jazz of 1930's Paris, France. The band also composes their own original music in the style as well as mashups of popular music mixing jazz, pop and classical music. Since the group's formation in 1998, they have toured extensively in Canada as well as international forays to the US, Europe and China.
The group has had repeat performances at Djangofest Northwest (DFNW) in 2008-2016 sharing the stage with gypsy jazz luminaries such as the John Jorgenson Quintet, the legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Romane and many others.
The group have released 4 CD’s: "Tiptoe Trip”, “Waltz in the Shape of a Tree", “Hotel Europe” and a Christmas CD with special guests titled, “Cool Yule”. They have been well received and played on many radio stations including; CBC, RDI, Espace Musique, NPR and Lyric FM in Ireland CD.
