John Jorgensen Quintet

Details:

Considered one of the pioneers of the American gypsy-jazz movement, guitarist John Jorgensen and his quintet make their Shalin Liu Performance Center debut. Inspired by the artistry and music of Django Reinhardt, Jorgensen is “far-and-away the best interpreter of Reinhardt’s material….spirited, romantic, and breathtakingly distinctive.” (San Francisco Examiner)

“The superlatives always fly when guitarists start talking about multi-instrumentalist
and guitar master John Jorgenson. Anyone who’s had the good fortune to catch him on
tour not only experience an awe-inspiring performance, but also get chance to discover an up
tempo level of professionalism coupled with a gentleman who’s easy going and gracious.”
