The Django Reinhardt NY Festival returns to Birdland for a weeklong celebration of the music of renowned gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. This year’s event, entitled “A Family Affair,” will feature acclaimed gypsy guitarist/composer Dorado Schmitt, known for his harmonious melodies, brilliant improvisations and extraordinary technique, and his three sons Amati (age 17), Bronson (age 20) and Samson (age 33) on guitar.
