Wrembel, who started the festival in 2003, has released several albums with his band, the Django Reinhardt Experiment, as well as Django L’Impressionniste, a book featuring transcriptions of seventeen of Reinhardt’s solos. At the Town Hall, Wrembel will take the stage with guitarists Raphael Faÿs, Laurent Hestin, Sebastien Felix, Russell Welch, Josh Kaye, and Tommy Davy, saxophonist Aurora Nealand, violinist Daisy Castro, bassist Ari Folman-Cohen, drummer Nick Anderson, and David Langlois on washboard. Grammy winner Wrembel, who is from Fountainebleau, France, has also composed music for three Woody Allen films, including his latest, Rifkin’s Festival. Django a Gogo is part of a six-day celebration that also includes concerts in Maplewood and Brooklyn and a guitar camp in New Jersey.
