Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra Presents Jazz de Paris

Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra Presents  Jazz de Paris Featuring Enion Pelta-Tiller on Vocal & Violin

Drew Zaremba, Artistic Director

Sunday, October 25 at 6:00 p.m. / Dazzle Denver

The CJRO returns 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. Tickets are $21 - $33, purchase at Colorado Jazz Concerts or by calling the Dazzle box office at 303-839-5100.

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).

Pelta-Tiller, co-founder of the internationally known band Taarka, is equally at home as a violinist, vocalist, and improviser. Her wide-ranging musical background makes her a natural fit for an evening where Django-inspired swing sets the stage for something fresh.

The CJRO is one of the region's premier jazz ensembles, featuring top-tier musicians dedicated to honoring and expanding the jazz tradition. Known for their innovative programming and electrifying performances, the CJRO continues to push boundaries while preserving the rich legacy of jazz. Read more at ColoradoJazz.org
