Djangophonique

We're looking forward to a FANTASTIC night of jazz manouche – and clearly you all are too! We are officially sold out, and we've had to close online ticket presales. But there may be a limited number of tickets at the door:

• If you have a Festival Pass or Will Call ticket, you should be able to have a physical seat. Come early if you can.
• If you don’t have a ticket, we’ll have a waitlist at the door. Starting at 7:00 PM, we will do our best to get you into the room. (There’s always a few no-shows, and there should be plenty of perfect-for-dancing standing-room space – while it lasts.)
• Parking: There’s a lot of construction around Bell's, so leave a little extra time. Street parking is somewhat available – the large lot on the east side of Porter Street is your best bet.

Djangophonique is an award-winning project that delivers the infectious joy and expressive freedom that is at the heart of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well.

The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music and alluring to the uninitiated – a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with the aching nostalgia of a shimmering ballad.

Opening for the ensemble will be Kalamazoo’s own The Birdseed Salesmen – it will be a wonderful, fun night of manouche jazz!
