ABOUT
Crazy Rhythm: the story of Gypsy Jazz is a two-hour show (including interval) that tracks the story of Gypsy Jazz from its origins to the present day. Informative and entertaining, it takes the audience from the first meeting of Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt in 1934 Paris to the original Gypsy Jazz being played by the Hot Club of Cape Town right here and now!
Crazy Rhythm: the story of Gypsy Jazz explores the influences that informed the music of Stéphane and Django, from New Orleans jazz to modern classical composers, and sees how the music further changed after Django’s untimely death at the age of 43—and how it continues to evolve.
Gypsy Jazz has become a global phenomenon in recent years. Over two hours of music and conversation, Crazy Rhythm: the story of Gypsy Jazz explains how and why!
