Act Now: Don't Miss the Hot Swing Magic with Veronica Swift

The legacy of pioneering Romani jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt is more vibrant than ever, thanks to the world’s leading purveyors of the style: the Django Festival Allstars. This very special night is dedicated to the ebullient, swinging sound of "jazz manouche," elevated by the inclusion of the sublime vocalist Veronica Swift.

The Allstars feature the extraordinary guitar-playing of Samson Schmitt, a scion of the genre’s first family, and the nuanced artistry of accordionist Ludovic Beier. Drawing their energy from annual celebrations at Birdland in New York and the original Django Reinhardt Festival in France, this collective of masters delivers an electrifying and authentic taste of hot jazz.

Joining them is Veronica Swift, who exploded onto the scene as a Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition finalist. Now 30, Swift has quickly become one of the most commanding and versatile voices in jazz, having performed with Wynton Marsalis and Chris Botti. Together, the Allstars and Swift promise a magical evening that honors the past while pushing the boundaries of this exhilarating style.
