Guitarist Adrien Moignard_Based in Paris, Moignard has been a serious guitarist since childhood. He is a longtime devotee of the music of Django Reinhardt and American jazz, and is one of the most sought-after guitarists on the contemporary Gypsy swing scene.

Violinist Ben Powell_Django collaborator Stephane Grappelli’s influence on Powell’s’s playing is unmistakable, and performing in the Hotclub style is his personal celebration of the Grappelli/Reinhardt tradition—and his own contribution to the current worldwide revolution in Gypsy jazz.

Gypsy Jazz Band Franglais_Franglais blends the rhythmic drive of gypsy jazz, the nostalgia of French chanson, and the distinct soul of American music.

    I'll be there Ben. Can I show up for the Master Classes with money in hand, or should I snail mail it to you from Missouri?
