Venue: Little Jumbo
When four master stringsmen gather to channel the spirit of Django Reinhardt, expect the kind of musical magic that happens when tradition meets fearless innovation. The Page Brothers—Andy's jazz guitar sophistication meeting Zack's rhythmic prowess that's averaged 275 gigs per year since the '90s—anchor this drummerless exploration of gypsy jazz at its most sublime. Steve Trisman's fiddle brings the fire that transforms contra dance floors into celebrations, while Leo Johnson's golden-era guitar mastery channels the soulful echoes of Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery.
This isn't just a tribute to Django's legacy—it's a conversation between four musicians who understand that the most compelling gypsy jazz happens when technical virtuosity serves pure emotion. Without drums to rely on, every rhythmic pulse must emerge from the interplay itself, creating the kind of intimate musical dialogue that made Django's original quintet revolutionary. From Andy's academic wisdom to Zack's restless American spirit, from Trisman's dance-floor magnetism to Johnson's timeless swing sensibilities, this quartet proves that some musical conversations are worth having without a timekeeper.
At Little Jumbo's intimate setting, prepare for an evening where strings tell stories, where silence becomes rhythm, and where four musicians prove that the deepest grooves sometimes come from the spaces between the obvious beats.
