Christine Tassan et les Imposteures in concert
Saturday, March 26, 7:30pm
Place des Arts, 1200 Brunette Avenue, Coquitlam
Free – registration is required
After a decade and a half of bringing their special blend of Gypsy jazz and revisited cover songs to an enthusiastic audience, Christine Tassan et les Imposteures have made a name for themselves on the music scene. In their dynamic show, these four exquisitely talented musicians perform some of the best works by Django Reinhardt, Félix Leclerc, and American swing composers.
With a singular mix of virtuosity, daring and humour, the string band draws inspiration from one artist’s poetry and the other’s swing to weave a rich new musical universe. They’ve more recently expanded their concept to the wonderful swing music of some contemporary “friends” of Django and Félix, revisiting hit songs created by George Gershwin, Louis Prima and Charlie Chaplin and blending them nicely with Django’s beautiful melodies.
Performing: Christine Tassan (lead guitar, lead vocals, song writing, arrangements), Martine Gaumond (violin, vocals, arrangements), Blanche Baillargeon (double bass, vocals, arrangements), Jeff Moseley (rhythm guitar, vocals).
