    About This Event

    Bassist Neal Caine brings his Funk Unit to The Django, presenting groove-forward ensemble playing built around tight, arranged passages. Rooted in Caine’s work as a sideman and bandleader, the unit translates big‑band discipline into a smaller, flexible format that favors pocket, precision and close interplay suited to the club’s acoustics.
