Band Descriptions
Read November 2022 Birdland Review
“Hardest swinging band at the Newport Festival”
“Sensational”
Downbeat
“Mr. Schmitt has the springy phrasing and effusive flow of a Djangoloist; he’s clearly born to the style.”
New York Times
“Django fest is the best jazz show in town! Imagine a stage filled with six contemporary Reinhardt descendants, and you’ll get a sense that the collective talent pool on the bandstand is larger than the Arc de Triomphe!”
Wall Street Journal
“… lightning-fast finger work, powerful strumming, wild sweeps across the fingerboard and astonishingly fast tempos.”
Los Angeles Times
