Pearl Django CD Release Concert

Celebrating their sixteenth year, Hot Club style group Pearl Django continues to be one of America’s most respected and in demand groups. Pearl Django returns to Vashon, Saturday, June 4, for an 8 p.m., CD release concert. They recently played a Montana tour, performed with Bellingham Symphony, held a sacrosanct spot in the Sacramento Jazz Festival and released two new CD’s. Pearl Django’s hot club music is hotter than ever. Newest CD Systeme D, is their tenth release and introduces new guitarist, Troy Chapman. The CD is dedicated to Neil Andersson, who retired from Pearl Django after 16 years. CDs will be available at the performance. "Pearl Django play(s) gypsy jazz…and they do it with such verve, skill and pleasure that

they’re pretty much irresistible to jazz and non-jazz listeners alike," affirms a Seattle Weekly music critic.
