Jazz Brunch Cruise with Gypsy Jazz Favorites,
Pearl Django
On Sunday, July 18, more than 400 jazz (and KPLU) lovers enjoyed a delicious brunch buffet, beautiful scenery and lively music from Pearl Django, cruising Elliott Bay aboard the Royal Argosy. KPLU's Dick Stein hosted this year's Summer Jazz Brunch Cruise, which was a smashing success.

Pearl Django
Entering their sixteenth year of performing, Pearl Django continues to be one of America’s most respected and busiest Hot Club style groups. Though still strongly influenced by the music of Django Reinhardt, Pearl Django’s repertoire now includes many original compositions. Their music reaches out across the divides of taste to a wide variety of audiences. The band's fervent followers include Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli fans, guitar enthusiasts (and guitarists!), lovers of string music, including bluegrass devotees, who relish nimble, clean, intricate picking, "world music" fans drawn to French and Gypsy accents, plus jazz buffs and aficionados of the new swing music. Transcending simple categorization, Pearl Django packs in enthusiastic audiences at dancehalls and nightclubs, at folk music festivals and jazz festivals alike. More information on the band is available on the band's website.
