Featuring Alphonso Horne and Candice Hoyes
Limited AvailabilityThe rhythms of early jazz and the musical influences of French Impressionism collide in guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt’s Hot Jazz melodies.
This innovative evening of music, featuring Alphonso Horne (trumpet) and Candice Hoyes (vocals) will examine the trans-Atlantic interplay between American and French jazz scenes through the music of Reinhardt, who rose to fame in France, then the United States. The evening explores the links among French mélodie, jazz, cabaret, Satie, Debussy, Poulenc, Ellington, Porter, and beyond.
