Unter der Leitung der französischen Musiker und Komponisten DAVID ENHCO, FRED NARDIN,
BASTIEN BALLAZ und JON BOUTELLIER widmet sich die 17-köpfige AMAZING KEYSTONE BIG
BAND seit ihrer Gründung Anfang der 2010er-Jahre der Adaption altbekannter und geschätzter
Werke. So interpretierten die Musiker bereits SERGEI PROKOFIEVs „Peter Und Der Wolf“ und
CAMILLE SAINT-SAENS‘ „Karneval Der Tiere“ neu und würdigen somit sowohl Geist und Seele
der großen Swing-Ära als auch den Erfindungsreichtum, die Offenheit und die Virtuosität
heutiger Jazz-Formationen. Für ihr neues Album „Django Extended“ holten sie sich mit
STOCHELO ROSENBERG, DIDIER LOCKWOOD, THOMAS DUTRONC und MARIAN
BADOI renommierte Gast-Musiker ins Boot und spielten neun explosive und originelle
Reinterpretationen DJANGOs größter Hits (darunter „Nuages“, „Minor Swing“, „Manoir De Mes
Reves“) ein. Doch auch weniger bekannte Stücke wie „Anatman“, „Flèche d‘Or“ oder „Troublant
Boléro“ wurden von der AMAZING KEYSTONE BIG BAND kunstvoll und durchdacht in ein
anmutiges und elegantes neues Gewand gekleidet, das diesen Klassikern äußerst gut steht.
After their triumphant adaptations of the works of Sergei Prokofiev – »Peter and the Wolf and Jazz!« – and Camille Saint-Saens – »The Jazz Carnival of the Animals« –, the 17 musicians of The Amazing Keystone Big Band, led by Bastien Ballaz, Jon Boutellier, Fred Nardin and David Enhco, are continuing to break new ground to introduce young and older audiences to the many expressions of jazz.
They are now back with a project spotlighting the legendary persona of a famous guitarist - Django EXTENDED - in which they interpret, in their own style, the best of Django Reinhardt. The Amazing Keystone Big Band has produced an explosive and inventive album ushering Django into a new dimension, that of a large orchestra, with four prestigious guests: Stochelo Rosenberg (guitar), Didier Lockwood (violin), Thomas Dutronc (guitar) and Marian Badoï (accordion).
The repertoire selected for this new opus traces the entire life of Django Reinhardt. It celebrates his biggest »hits« – like Nuages, Minor Swing, Manoir de mes Rêves, Tears and Djangology – as well as compositions lesser known to the average listener, such as Anatman, Flèche d’Or, Troublant Boléro and the enigmatic Rythme Futur.
Django Reinhardt in a few words:
Jean-Baptiste »Django« Reinhardt was born in Belgium in 1910. Very early on, he began playing the banjo and the violin with his family, itinerant performing artists in a gypsy community. The gifted young Django was soon hired to play in Paris’s best clubs in Belleville.
But when he was 18, a fire broke out in his caravan. Badly burned, Django lost the use of two fingers of his left hand. During his long convalescence, he was offered a guitar. Through hours of daily practice, he developed a unique new style of playing that overcame his disability and showed off his dazzling dexterity. He then definitively chose the guitar as his instrument.
In 1934, he founded the »Quintet of the Hot Club of France« with the violonist Stéphane Grappelli.
The group’s music was a very new blend of swing jazz and traditional gypsy music and gave birth to the majority of Django’s great standards: Minor Swing, Tears, Djangology, etc.
One hit followed another. When the war broke out, the group split up and Django was forced to flee to Switzerland to avoid the Nazipersecution of his people. In 1946, the great Duke Ellington invited him on a US tour, but the experience was not a positive one and ended quickly.
Django settled in Samois-sur-Seine, where he gradually withdrew from the music scene to devote himself to painting, another art in which he excelled.
In 1953, he died suddenly, shortly after deciding to make a grand comeback.
