Having performed at our inaugural gig at Yalm in October 2023, Norwich Jazz Club are delighted to welcome The Djangoliers back to the venue for another lively evening of foot-tapping hot-club favourites.
Taking their cue from Django Reinhardt’s war-years line-up, where Hubert Rostaing’s clarinet replaced Stephane Grapelli’s violin, The Djangoliers specialize in performing music both written and inspired by the late, great French guitarist. As well as performing many of Django’s classic arrangements and compositions such as Nuages, Swing 42 and Manoir Des Mes Rêves, they also perform original compositions and standards from the more contemporary canon of the style now known as ‘Gypsy Jazz’.
Catch the quartet in action at that inaugural Yalm date in this brief clip; or at Norwich Playhouse (also in October 2023), or more recently at Ongar Jazz Club in Essex.
