 This dazzling, high-octane studio album of memorable new gypsy jazz compositions celebrates 25 years of the historic Django Reinhardt New York Festival from which the Allstars first emerged in 2002.
 One of the more thrilling instrumental groups performing today, the Allstars honour and expand the legacy of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli’s ‘Gypsy Swing’ music, the jazz rage of Paris in the 1930s and 1940s which has seen a recent resurgence.
 Allstars anchors Samson Schmitt (guitar), Ludovic Beier (accordion / accordina) and Pierre Blanchard (violin) shine within the ensemble and also as composers and featured soloists.
 “Hot jazz at its best!” - LA Times
