Ready for a night of unforgettable music? Join us at monca on Saturday, February 22 for an evening of Gypsy Jazz “In Conversation” with two extraordinary talents: Tim Kliphuis and Jimmy Grant.
Together, Tim and Jimmy will take you on a journey to 1930s Paris, reimagining the music of Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt while adding their own modern flair. Expect dazzling solos, toe-tapping melodies, and a night of pure musical magic.
Tim Kliphuis is nothing short of a violin master and sound wizard. Blending classical, gypsy jazz, and folk, his unique style is turning heads in concert halls worldwide. A Sony Classical recording artist, Tim has performed for the Dutch King and Queen, shared stages with legends like Frankie Gavin and Les Paul, and received praise from violin virtuoso Nigel Kennedy. From curating the Fiddles on Fire Festival to collaborations with orchestras across the globe, Tim’s musical genius knows no bounds.
Jimmy Grant grew up surrounded by bluegrass, folk, Celtic, and classical music but found his calling in the sound of Django Reinhardt. Mentored by jazz guitar greats Jim Nichols and Howard Alden, Jimmy draws inspiration from Bach, Joe Pass, and Benny Goodman. He’s toured coast to coast with Velvet Caravan, performed with legends like David Grisman, and collaborated with European musicians Ludovic Beier and Paulus Schäfer.
