For over twenty years, the group has been making its mark in the world of gypsy jazz and revisited song, and Christine Tassan et les Imposteures has managed to win the esteem and loyalty of an ever-growing audience.
True pioneers in a field usually reserved for men and forerunners of the Gypsy jazz wave that swept over Quebec, these four musicians reinvent, with their characteristic singularity, a music that, far from being frozen in time, adapts instead to all sorts of new ideas. From covers to original compositions, Les Imposteures’ arrangements innovate, refresh, and give free rein to the unbridled creativity of four seasoned musicians.
The group’s reputation precedes them, with seven albums to their credit and over 700 performances in concert halls and festivals, including numerous tours in Quebec, Canada, Europe, the United States, and China. Christine Tassan et les Imposteures have performed at 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 was nominated for Show of the Year in 2018. Since 2020, the group has presented a special holiday show called “Django Belles,” which has become an annual tradition.
