Duved Dunayevsky (the world's leading expert on Django Reinhardt's 1930s style) and Federico Zaltron (one of the most acclaimed jazz violinists on the European scene) bring to the stage tunes from the jazz repertoire of the early 1900s, deconstructing them, reworking them and using them as a springboard for completely spontaneous improvisation.
