John Jorgenson Quintet

Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson, known for his exquisite guitar techniques and world-class musicianship, leads his instrumental gypsy jazz quintet in this not-to-be missed concert. Making a rare stop in So. California, the renowned ensemble performs the unique swing style sounds of the melodic music of Django Reinhardt in a mix of soulful romance and rollicking celebration.

John Jorgenson, possibly one of the best jazz guitarists alive, is known for his mastery of a broad musical palette and is leaving a lasting legacy in the art of guitar performance. The group’s style has been called gypsy jazz after the dynamic string-driven swing created in 1930’s Paris – but their compositions draw in elements of Latin, Romanian, Classical, Rock and Greek music, so perhaps a more apt description is “21st Century World Music.” This show is golden. The music soars!
