[Dixielandjazz] Evan Christopher & Django a la Creole

[Stephen G Barbone]

As Rebecca says, Evan is broadening his appeal with Spanish Tinge, or  
Gypsy, or whatever you call it. But he still plays good old New  
Orleans too. He calls his newer quartet Django A la Creole.

For those who may not have seen/heard Evan Christopher see him do both  
on "Fantasie" and then "Riverboat Shuffle" at:

Check out the comments. I agree with the guy who said "for my money  
there is no more authentic New Orleans style clarinet player on the  
scene today."

Or see him at:

And then on two different versions of "I'll see you in my Dreams"

version)

IMO the man swings mightily no matter what songs he plays.
