Django's Jewels

Django's Jewels are on a mission to capture the sound of Django Reinhardt's Gypsy jazz of the 30's and 40's, and they are the next generation of gypsy swing in western Canada. They're described as BC's newest hot club quartet that plays hot swing in the old style à la Django Reinhardt. This all string band presents a full, clear and undistorted wooden sound rarely heard in the Jazz Manouche scene today. The Jewels swing hard and fast, with energy and lots of feels. The band appears to be based in British Columbia, Canada, and focuses on authentic gypsy jazz instrumentation and style, using traditional acoustic string instruments to recreate the sound of 1930s and 1940s Paris hot club jazz. Django's Jewels' commitment to authentic gypsy jazz, their virtuosic musicianship, and their ability to capture the spirit of Django Reinhardt while bringing contemporary energy have made them favorites among gypsy jazz enthusiasts in Western Canada.
