“The Gypsy-jazz warbler”
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Nicknamed the Gypsy-jazz Warbler by the New York Times and accruing 100 million views on YouTube, Tatiana Eva-Marie is a multidisciplinary artist who performs on tour worldwide in different formations and lives between Paris and New York City.
Tatiana Eva-Marie sings music derived from the Django Reinhardt tradition with French jazz and Gypsy influences. Her latest project DJANGOLOGY (released on GroundUp Music in 2024) celebrates the music of guitarist Django Reinhardt, the father of Gypsy Jazz. Instead of focusing on the emblematic style that he created, Tatiana highlights the music of Django the composer through her own lyrics in French, English, and Rromanes (the Gypsy language) set to her original arrangements, laying the foundations for a Django songbook.
Tatiana Eva-Marie’s singing is inspired by her own French and Balkan heritage; a love for Parisian chanson spanning the 1920s to the 60s; a passion for Gypsy music and jazz Manouche; a fascination for New Orleans music; and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.
Besides her exploration of the Django repertoire, other musical projects include a long-time collaboration with ragtime pianist and scholar Terry Waldo and his Gotham City Band where she sings frisky ditties from the 1920s; and a duo with pianist Jeremy Corren where they talk about classic movies and show tunes, drink champagne, and play through the Great American Songbook.
“A millennial shaking up the jazz scene”
VANITY FAIR
“Tatiana Eva-Marie has consistently delighted audiences with her buoyant style and effervescent personality, all of which fit firmly into the vintage jazz manouche genre that Django pioneered.”
