Event details

European Gypsy swing with the music and rhythms of New Orleans, the Caribbean and Brazil. Evan Christopher is possibly the world's finest clarinettist. He combines virtuosity and immaculate taste with a strong root in New Orleans jazz. Elegant and impassioned, Evan's style is steeped in the tradition of early jazz masters such as Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Noone, and Barney Bigard.

With guitarists David Blenkhorn and Dave Kelbie, and bassist Sebastien Girardot, Evan Christopher celebrates the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt and enlivens swing-era classics with fresh interpretations and virtuosic improvisation.
