Gypsy Jazz Night featuring Tim Kliphuis with Jimmy Grant

The Louisville Jazz Society is excited to co-sponsor an evening of Gypsy Jazz featuring world-renowned Dutch violinist and master improviser Tim Kliphuis, regarded as the “keeper of the flame” of the great Stefan Grappelli. Tim teams up with America’s rising star on gypsy jazz guitar Jimmy Grant to celebrate the music of famed musical duo, Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Re-creating the 1930s in Paris, and drawing inspiration from current-day classical and folk music as well, they alternate moments of dazzling interplay with melancholy and sheer exhilaration, in an inspired conversational journey that is different every night.
