Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson brings his Quintet to Del Mar for a unique musical experience showcasing Gypsy jazz: the dynamic blend of swing, French café music, and Gypsy melody created by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. Jorgenson's "considerable gifts as a composer and arranger" will be featured, in compositions that "sound so authentic they could be mistaken for long-lost Reinhardt originals". (Acoustic Guitar Magazine)
2010 marks the 100th birthday of the great Django Reinhardt. The John Jorgenson Quintet is the only American act to ever headline the prestigious Django Reinhardt Memorial Festival in France. For the films "Gattica" and "Head in the Clouds" Jorgenson was tapped to recreate Django's music, and in the latter he appeared onscreen as Django with Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz.
Jorgenson's career has spanned many musical styles. First coming to national attention in the mid 80s with the acclaimed country-rock act The Desert Rose Band, Jorgenson has recorded or performed with such diverse artists as Bonnie Raitt, Bob Seger, Sting, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Benny Goodman, and Barbara Streisand. Elton John invited Jorgenson to join his band in 1994 for an 18 month tour that stretched into a 6 year stint of touring, recording and TV appearances.
Adding to the international nature of the Quintet are Dutch bassist Simon Planting and British rhythm guitarist Kevin Nolan, along with the prodigious young jazz violinist Jason Anick and veteran percussionist Rick Reed. The combination of these five musicians creates a sound that is equally dynamic, romantic, driving, melodic and accessible.
"...fiery fretting [and] dynamic interplay that was as thrilling to observe as it was to hear." ~ The Washington Post
