Djangophonique is a musical project born out of reverence for the Parisian Jazz Manouche style that was made popular by the legendary Sinti guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Quintette du Hot Club de France. While remaining steeped in the rich and virtuosic tradition, the group brings this music into the present with stunning improv, spontaneity and musical interaction. Hot swing, lush ballads, musette waltzes, jazz standards, boleros, and moody minor pieces are all fused together with theatrical flair and musical humor.

With their natural performing ability and dynamic vocals and instrumentation, Elevation ft. Chiara is one of the premiere R&B/Pop/Jazz groups in the area. Hailing from Detroit, the members have been performing together for a decade and perform with some of the best musicians in and around metro Detroit.
In their impressive professional career, Elevation ft. Chiara has performed all over metro-Detroit to much fanfare. They have been featured at Savoy Detroit, The Aretha Jazz Café, the David Whitney Hotel, Bert’s Jazz Room, Hammer & Nail, and numerous private events. Their sound fuses traditional R&B and pop with smooth jazz fusion and some dance music.
