Join The Freight in celebrating the life and music of Django Reinhardt with two nights of concerts. Featuring an all-star lineup of musicians co-curated with Michael Joseph Harris and Paul Mehling. All shows take place at The Freight in our state of the art listening room.
Django Reinhardt (January 23, 1910 - May 16, 1953) was a Manouche (French Roma) child-prodigy who became a master musician at a very early age, possibly the first guitar virtuoso in jazz. Mostly known for his guitar virtuosity, he is also regarded as the originator of the musical genre Jazz Manouche, where the guitar is front and center (in contrast to most other kinds of jazz of his time where brass instruments were usually playing the melodies and solos). Reinhardt created the Hot Club de France Quintet, with a format still used in the genre with all acoustic stringed instruments.
