Dorado Schmitt and his sons, Samson and Amati, bring to life the vibrant tradition of jazz manouche (often referred to as “gypsy jazz”), a genre pioneered by the legendary Django Reinhardt. Reinhardt transformed the Parisian music scene of the 1920s and 30s, creating a lively sound that blends jazz, folk, and swing with roots in the music of the Romani culture.
Schmitt, a celebrated guitarist and violinist, has dedicated his career to both preserving and innovating within this genre. Together, the family evokes the romantic ambiance of Parisian cafés, delivering infectious rhythms and heartfelt songs that celebrate their rich musical heritage. Experience the magic of jazz manouche as the family captivates audiences with their dynamic performances and a deep-rooted passion for this timeless art form.
