Classes and Concert conducted by:

Guitarist Adrien Moignard
Based in Paris, Moignard has been a serious guitarist since childhood. He is a longtime devotee of the music of Django Reinhardt and American jazz, and is one of the most sought-after guitarists on the contemporary Gypsy swing scene.

Violinist Ben Powell
Django collaborator Stephane Grappelli’s influence on Powell’s’s playing is unmistakable, and performing in the Hotclub style is his personal celebration of the Grappelli/Reinhardt tradition—and his own contribution to the current worldwide revolution in Gypsy jazz.

Gypsy Jazz Band Franglais
Franglais blends the rhythmic drive of gypsy jazz, the nostalgia of French chanson, and the distinct soul of American music.
