Nicknamed the “Gypsy-jazz Warbler” by The New York Times, Tatiana Eva-Marie is a captivating vocalist, bandleader, and storyteller whose music bridges the timeless elegance of Django Reinhardt’s Paris with the vibrant energy of New York City jazz.
At the heart of her sound is the Avalon Jazz Band, which Tatiana founded shortly after moving to New York City. The band quickly became the premier ambassador for French swing in the U.S. and abroad, enchanting audiences with a stylish blend of 1930s Parisian jazz, Gypsy melodies, and the spirit of the Great American Songbook. Together, they’ve built an international following and graced stages from the Blue Note and Lincoln Center to festivals around the world.
Tatiana’s latest project, Djangology, reimagines the music of Django Reinhardt through her own lyrics and inventive arrangements, blending reverence for tradition with a distinctly modern charm. Her influences span French and Balkan roots, vintage cabaret, traditional Gypsy songs, New Orleans music, and classic film scores.
With over 100 million YouTube views, recognition from Vanity Fair as a millennial reshaping jazz, and a reputation for transporting performances full of warmth and wit, Tatiana Eva-Marie and the Avalon Jazz Band promise a joyful evening of swing, style, and soulful connection.
