Jazz De Paris to Feature Enion Pelta-Tiller at Dazzle Denver

The CJRO will return to the distinctive sound of jazz manouche with a fresh take on a program first explored last spring. Inspired by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli, Jazz de Paris brings hot strings and swing to Dazzle for an intimate evening of driving rhythms, inventive improvisation, and plenty of musical interplay. Dazzle Denver is located at 1080 14th St, Denver, CO 80202.  The performance will take place on Sunday, October 25 at 6:00 p.m.

Violinist and vocalist Enion Pelta-Tiller joins the CJRO small band for a concert rooted in the music Reinhardt and Grappelli who helped define in 1930s Paris. Their legendary Quintette du Hot Club de France blended American jazz with European and Romani musical influences, creating a distinctive acoustic style built around guitar, violin, bass, and propulsive rhythm. The CJRO puts its own stamp on the music, moving between jazz manouche favorites, swinging standards, and selections that venture beyond the traditional Hot Club repertoire.

The CJRO small band features Jared Cathey (saxophone), Ben Hall (piano), Mike Abbott (guitar), and Gonzalo Teppa (bass), along with special guest Enion Pelta-Tiller (violin and vocal).
