Evan
Christopher DJANGO A LA CREOLE Quartet
Headed up by one of the worlds best Clarinettists - Evan
Christopher
Christopher whilst living in Paris, worked diligently to raise
awareness about the
musical culture of New Orleans where he lived until the floods,
through concerts and
masterclasses. He also formed his own groups, the Jazz
Traditions Project and Django à
la Créole. For Django à la Créole, the idea was simple enough:
Spice up the Hot Club texture
pioneered by Django Reinhardt by emphasizing hallmarks of New Orleans
Jazz including blues,
rhythms of the monde Créole, and collective improvisation. The quartet
released the recent
"Django à la Créole" CD in New Orleans during the 25th anniversary of
the famous French
Quarter Festival. Elegant and impassioned, New Orleans-based
clarinettist Evan Christopher's
style
is steeped in the tradition exemplified by early jazz masters such as Sidney
Bechet, Jimmie
Noon
and Barney Bigard. Together with UK based guitarists David Blenkhorn & Dave
Kelbie,
and
bassist Sebastien Girardot, the quartet celebrates the music of the legendary
Django
Reinhardt and enlivens swing-era classics with fresh interpretations and
virtuosic
improvisations.This concert will be a fine blend of Hot Club and Creole
just what it says on
the
box! not to be missed. We advise booking as early as
possible.

TONY
COX
‘Put a party together
and go have your mind blown to bits (and reconstructed) by a musician who is
well on his way to becoming a living legend’ Daily News –
2007
Multiple
award-winning acoustic Guitarist TONY COX one of South Africa’s finest.
His music tumbles out,
hitting your tapping feet with its solid groove, transporting your heart and
mind with harmonic unknown journeys. Warm and engaging on and off stage, with
stories and anecdotes, that draw you in, forcing you to listen to un
unheard tune that catches you in the solar-plexus with its power and
delivery. His multiple finger-style techniques absorbed from such greats
as Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch, have fused into a style all of his own that
captures the rigorous precision of classical technique juxtaposing the loose,
laid-back delivery of a master at work. Compositions from his youth
are charged with African imagery, integral to this unique guitar player’s world
perspective.
