SUMMARY:The North Beach Django
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to a 1930s sidewalk café in Montmartre as North Beach Django takes residency at Paris 75 every Tuesday. Located on the edge of the historic Broadway corridor\, this charming French lounge provides the perfect backdrop for the “Hot Club” sound. With its selection of authentic French cocktails and wines\, the venue feels less like a San Francisco bar and more like a secret sanctuary for lovers of European jazz and vintage aesthetics. \nThe Sound: North Beach Django delivers an authentic exploration of Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz). Their sound is defined by the “pumping” rhythm of acoustic guitars and soaring\, melodic solos. Expect a repertoire of high-speed swing\, haunting French musette waltzes (like “L’Indifférence”)\, and soulful ballads that capture the bittersweet spirit of the early 20th century. \nThe Django Legacy: The group’s mission is to honor the revolutionary style of Django Reinhardt\, the legendary Romani-French guitarist who pioneered this genre. Despite losing the use of two fingers in a fire\, Reinhardt’s virtuosic speed and unique harmonic language changed jazz forever. The band keeps this fire alive\, utilizing the same acoustic string-band format—no drums\, just pure rhythmic drive. \nThe Players: The group is led by a core of the Bay Area’s finest “manouche” specialists\, often featuring Ned Boynton on guitar\, Eddie Scher on guitar\, and Kenan O’Brien on bass. Their chemistry is a masterclass in the “interlocking” style of Gypsy Swing\, where the lead and rhythm guitars work in a constant\, high-speed dialogue. \nThe Community Jam: In the spirit of the Parisian cafés where this music was born\, the evening often evolves into a welcoming session. After the first set\, the band frequently opens the floor to “acoustic sitter-inners”—strings\, accordions\, and woodwinds—making it a vibrant hub for the local jazz community. \n\nAbout Paris 75\nParis 75 is a sophisticated French cocktail lounge that serves as a cultural bridge between San Francisco and the “City of Light.” Named after the postal code for Paris\, the bar specializes in regional French wines and signature cocktails like the “French 75.” The intimate\, candlelit space is designed for conversation and attentive listening\, making it the ideal home for the acoustic nuances of North Beach Django. It is a place where time slows down\, and the legacy of the great European troubadours feels remarkably present.
