Pearl Django

The incomparable Pearl Django returns to the intimate stage of Thumbnail Theater in Snohomish!

With a performance history spanning more than two decades, Pearl Django endures as one of the most highly regarded Hot Club style groups working today.

The groups inception was as a trio in Tacoma, Washington in 1994. The focus of Pearl Django was, and is, to incorporate the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with American swing music. They quickly expanded to a quintet, adding a violinist and a third guitarist. An interview on NPRs All Things Considered in 2001 brought the group to national attention. In June 2002, Pearl Django performed at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine, just outside of Paris, France. As of 2007 Pearl Django is working as both a quartet and a quintet (with accordionist, David Lange) All of the members are contributing original compositions to the bands expansive repertoire. They have released 12 CDs to date.

If Paris is the city of love, then Pearl Djangos music is the flirtatious accompaniment.
