Samford Live at Little Tree - Van Dijk 4 - Sat 14 Sept 2024

Van Dijk 4 

Evocative Gypsy Jazz & Swing

This consummate four-piece group draws inspiration from the charming sounds of 1930’s Paris & New Orleans Jazz music to capture the magic and swing of this endearing time.

Van Dijk 4 reflects the heart of Gypsy Jazz Music, celebrating the music of the great swing era, made so memorable by Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt of the Hot Club of France.

Jan Van Dijk has been entrenched in the Gypsy and Swing scenes in Australia and abroad for over fifteen years. New Orleans has become a second home and a source of constant inspiration, and those Bayou strains can be heard meandering through the fast-paced Gypsy Jazz repertoire.

With an eclectic repertoire of originals and standards: up-tempo swing, jazz ballads, gypsy bossas and French waltzes, the Van Dijk 4 deliver exciting and energetic sets that will have you spell-bound from beginning to the end. A regular at West End’s Bearded Lady’s Gypsy Jazz Sundays sessions
