Grammy-winner John Jorgenson and his Quintet transport the audience to the streets of Paris in the '30s, through the balmy Mediterranean and the heat and rhythms of Latin American before bringing you back safely home again. In this tribute to jazz pioneer Django Reinhardt, Jorgenson thrills audiences with original and classic "gypsy jazz," a new style of jazz guitar technique invented by Reinhardt that went on to take root in the Belgian Gypsy culture. This dynamic, string-driven style is characterized by a combination of the deep, colorful Gypsy flavor with the swing style common to the 1930s.

We knew nothing about this group and only heard a few minutes of their music online before going to see them. We're so glad we've been introduced to them. What an awesome group! And the next time they perform in the Southern California, we'll be sure to see them again. John's guitar playing was to the level of Eric Clapton and the violinist was incredible. He made that violin sing.

It was a fantastic show. John Jorgenson is one of the greatest guitarists around as well as clarinetist. While a lot of the music is original it clearly is influenced by Django Reinhart. The young and talented vionlist was amozing and sounded so much like Stephane Grappelli. The Curtis Theatre was a good venue for the show as it is a small intimate theatre making it easy for John to connect to the audience. Would definitely see this group again and again.
