GrassRoots Regina Presents Montreal’s gypsy jazz quartette Christine Tassan et les Imposteures.
When
- March 22, 2020 - Doors at: 7:15pm / Showtime: 8:00pm
The band is comprised of four exquisitely talented musicians who perform their unique style of gypsy jazz featuring works by Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and American swing composers blended with traditional Québécois music.
Christine Tassan et les Imposteures arrange and play gypsy jazz classics in their own unique way but they also have a beautiful repertoire of French vocal standards that they perform marvellously, often in four-part harmony. Their stage act is full of spirit, humour and camaraderie; they readily engage the audience, often venturing into the crowd while playing, making for a very down to earth but uplifting musical experience. In performance, it is evident that the four musicians have mastered their talents. They improvise with ease, interpret their repertoire with dynamism, and blend their voices together in refined harmonies. From standards to original compositions, the group’s musical arrangements innovate, rejuvenate and leave room for unbridled creativity.
Christine Tassan et les Imposteures released their first full-length album, De bon matin, in 2007 and have subsequently released five additional albums; their most recent, Django Belles, in 2018.
