Van Django offers gypsy tunes on Bowen

Those who attended the Child Haven fundraiser on Bowen Island last November will remember being treated to a few gypsy jazz tunes from Cameron Wilson.  That was such fun. Wilson and his band Van Django are giving a concert on Bowen Island on Saturday, April 7, at 7 p.m. at the Gallery at Artisan Square.

Van Django is an acoustic string ensemble made up of four of Canada’s most talented and eclectic musicians: violinist Cameron Wilson, guitarist Budge Schachte, guitarist/cellist Finn Manniche and bassist Brent Gubbels.

Van Django’s music is punchy, driving and rhythmically inventive, combining a wealth of musical influences while maintaining their roots in the gypsy jazz made famous by the 1930’s Quintet of the Hot Club of France.
