Inspired by the Romani guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli and their group the Quintette du Hot Club de France, the Library closes out our tour of Paris with the Gypsy Jazz Trio under the direction of guitarist and singer Tomáš Drgoň.

Join us for a night on the sidewalks of Paris as this band delivers an honest, authentic, and entertaining mix of folklore, jazz and dance music pulled from the collections of the Music Division, the American Folklife Center, the Motion Picture, Broadcasting & Recorded Sound Division, and the France in America exhibition of the European Division.  

Two performances will be held at  6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
