Django's Tiger Jankeje & Guttenberger - Gast: Sabine Zimmermann

Gypsy jazz and more

Strongly inspired by Django Reinhardt, the "Django's Tiger Quartet" creates a fascinating and authentic sound. The individual musical spirit of the band, full of spontaneity and ingenuity, inspires the audience again and again. This is music for the heart, which derives its raison d'être solely from the joy of making music.

Unfortunately, Sinti/Gypsy/Gypsy/Manush jazz guitar music has not yet established itself everywhere. At guitar jazz days, Django festivals and even at "normal" jazz festivals, this style is often regarded as inferior, even though Django Reinhardt is the first - and possibly the only - European jazz musician to have achieved great recognition in America.

Without denying their Sinti roots, the trio has developed further and now plays bossa nova, waltzes, blues and ballads alongside gypsy jazz. The interplay of the solo guitar with the traditional rhythm guitar and double bass creates the typical gypsy jazz sound that delights audiences worldwide.
