"Contemporary Vintage Inter-Continental Acoustic Swing"
"Their style of music is infectious"
"Anyone that enjoys live music and that has a heartbeat will like this stuff" Dan Ross- Host of Singer-Songwriters on Sunday Radio show
Brought together by their shared love of the music of Django Reindardt and Gypsy Jazz. The members of Django's Cadillac combine elements of Swing, Jazz, Latin, Klezmer and Western Swing to create wonderful music that is enjoyed by everyone. Infectious rhythms and hot solos make Django's Cadillac one of the most original and enjoyable bands to come out of the Northwest since Pink Martini.
The band consists of two guitar players, string bass, jazz mandolin and clarinet. Unlike most groups these days, Django's Cadillac is not built around one dominant player with a cast of supporting roles. The band members of Django's Cadillac are well known for their versatility and diverse stengths with four soloists, four composers and three vocalists. Appearing with the band occasionally is Kat Cogswell on vocals who is also featured on the self titled debut Django's Cadillac.

Grab a cappachino, a beret, and sit down...
author: Ted Eschliman, Site Author jazzmando.comOne of the Pacific Northwest’s best kept secrets, relative newbie Django's Cadillac is a masterful showcase of Django Gypsy Jazz, a dash of Klez (er, did someone say "Klezmo?"), and a brilliantly executed ensemble effort. These guys play well together, capture the comprehensive nuance of the French coffeehouse, and inject a playful, yet cultured spirit in their performance. Kudos to Kerry William’s squeaky-clean right hand mando technique!
If 4 stars are great then 5 stars must be for Django's Cadillac!!!
author: Elbow FeldsparI am a professional sidekick and whenever I go out on a job I insist on playing Django's Cadillac. These guys are incredible musicians as well as wonderful songwriters and will delight you with songs from traditional swing to jazz klezmer. I guess that's called Klezmo? Don't underestimate these people, they will thrill you with each new tune. This is the kind of CD that you want to buy a bunch of and send them to all your friends. (I wasn't even paid to say that!)
Very Very Cool
author: Drew James (Denver, CO)Great arrangements and ensemble work. Excellent solos and tune smithing..lots of talent.. I didn't know there was such a thing as Jazz Mandolin....
