On a mission to capture the sound of Django Reinhardt's Gypsy jazz of the 30’s and 40’s, Django's Jewels are the next generation of gypsy swing in western Canada.
The Jewels swing hard and fast, with energy and lots of feels. Traditional gypsy guitar, violin and upright bass makes up the Jewels' core vintage sound, while special guests often join the Jewels on their musical journey, including the odd swing drummer or wacky accordionist. They've also been known to sing an old melody or two!
The raw swing of Django's Jewels packs a serious bite not heard often in the biz today.
