The third year of this Jazz Consortium series launches with this acoustic instrumental quintet that’s primarily influenced by legendary Roma Gypsy Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Well-known for covers of vintage jazz classics and Gypsy Jazz-style renditions of tunes from the Great American Songbook, their InDIGenous Jazz performance will focus on music from their upcoming CD, their first of all-original music, that features a mix of Django-style hot swing, Latin jazz styles, and Parisian waltzes. Band members include guitarists Chris Ruppenthal and Scott Hlavenka, clarinetist-saxophonist Greg Smith, bassist Kevin Tipple, and violinist John Henry. 7:30 PM, Madison Public Library’s Central Branch, 201 West Mifflin Street, 3rd floor. Free admission.
