On December 14, the Salle Cortot will host an exceptional event: the reformation of the Quintette du Hot Club de France. Founded in the 1930s by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, this group marked the history of jazz by inventing a unique style combining classical virtuosity and incandescent swing. This anniversary concert promises to be a plunge into the very essence of this timeless musical aesthetic, where Gypsy jazz rediscovers its letters of nobility.

Around guitarist Duved Dunayevsky and violinist Daniel Garlitsky, exceptional musicians come together to perpetuate this legendary heritage. Duved Dunayevsky, renowned for his mastery of the Django style, is accompanied by Daniel Garlitsky, a violinist of many classical distinctions, who has thrown himself passionately into jazz. Pierre Richeux, Andrea Soria and Scott Koehler complete the quintet, each bringing his own unique touch and deep respect for the original spirit of the group.

The program promises to set the Salle Cortot alight, with emblematic classics by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, standards from the 1920s-1940s, and swing adaptations of classic works. This new Quintette du Hot Club de France doesn't just reproduce the original creations, but reinterprets them with modernity and creativity, while remaining true to the soul of this music.

Aimed at jazz fans, those nostalgic for the golden age of swing, and the curious in search of an authentic musical experience, this concert will appeal to both seasoned and novice music lovers. On the other hand, those less receptive to jazz or swing may find the style too demanding. This rare moment will also be an opportunity to appreciate the presence of musicologist Philippe Baudoin and François Desbrosses, President of the Hot Club de France.

Don't miss this unique musical event, a vibrant tribute to 90 years of French swing history.
