Eric Bibb

Eric Bibb performs songs from his album Booker’s Guitar. The first representation that accurately mirrors his magnetic and charismatic acoustic live shows, true to tradition and yet uniquely his own.

A travelling musician has a chance encounter in the most unlikely of places with something mystical and powerful, a 1930s vintage Resophonic National steel-body guitar that had belonged to Delta blues legend Booker White. Everything changes and suddenly, everything is up for grabs, and the music – already rich and historically resonant – takes a whole new direction.

Evan Christopher’s Django à la Créole

5 Jun 2010

Evan Christopher

Django à la Créole is two guitars and double bass weaving sultry rhythms around the soaring clarinet of arguably the current no1 on the instrument, Evan Christopher. The magic comes from the fusion of Gypsy swing with hot rhythms from the streets of New Orleans, the Caribbean and Brazil.

Elegant and impassioned, New Orleans-based clarinettist Evan Christopher's style is steeped in the tradition exemplified by early jazz masters such as Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Noone, and Barney Bigard. Together with UK based guitarists David Blenkhorn & Dave Kelbie, and bassist Sebastien Girardot, the quartet celebrates the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt and enlivens swing-era classics with fresh interpretations and virtuosic improvisations.
