 Whidbey
Island Center for the Arts proudly presents DjangoFest Northwest,
celebrating the music and spirit of Django Reinhardt and Gypsy Jazz. This unique
blend of Eastern European melodies, Parisian Musette, Spanish Flamenco and American
Swing was created and perfected by the genius of Django Reinhardt and his fellow
Gypsy musicians in the Cafes of Paris during the thirties and forties, and is
quickly becoming one the most distinctive and enjoyed jazz hybrids on the music
scene today.
In addition to the performances, there will be a number of
exciting workshops, unannounced local acts,
surprise guests, jam sessions in local pubs and cafes, and many opportunities
to link with fellow Djangophiles. So make a weekend of it. A list of places to
stay and eat is available by calling the South Whidbey Accommodation Referral
Service at (360) 221-6765. Enjoy lovely Langley on Whidbey Island and hear some
fantastic Gypsy Jazz. For more info call: (360) 221-8262 or visit www.wicaonline.com *Please
