Experience the captivating sound of Christine Tassan and the Impostors, captured live on the New Haven Green. For over twenty years, this remarkable ensemble has been redefining jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) and reimagined chanson, earning the devotion of audiences worldwide.
As true pioneers in a genre traditionally dominated by men, these four exceptional musicians were at the forefront of the manouche wave that swept across Quebec. Their signature approach breathes new life into the music, proving that jazz manouche is far from frozen in time—instead, it adapts and evolves through their unbridled creativity and innovative arrangements.
With seven albums and more than 700 performances across Quebec, Canada, Europe, the United States, and China, the group has graced prestigious stages including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine (France), the Django Festival in Liberchies (Belgium), and the North-West Django Fest (USA). Their album Entre Félix et Django received the Opus Award for Jazz Album of the Year in 2017 and earned a Show of the Year nomination in 2018.
Witness the artistry and virtuosity that has made Christine Tassan and the Impostors beloved ambassadors of jazz manouche around the globe.
