Focus On: John Jorgenson

During his successful career as a session sideman, tour player and solo artist, guitar genius John Jorgenson has performed in a variety of styles. He formed the Desert Rose Band with Chris Hillman, put together the guitar "supergroup" Hellcasters and played behind artists that include Luciano Pavarotti, Bonnie Raitt, Benny Goodman and Elton John, who took Jorgenson around the world on a six-year tour. In his performance with his quintet at Happy Days Lodge, Jorgenson focuses on his true love, American Gypsy Jazz that rivals the master, Django Reinhardt.

This concert was recorded live at Happy Days Lodge in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Peninsula, OH in October 2008 by contributing producer Craig Adams.

Chris, At the 15:32 mark into the concert, he announces the band. It sounds like he says the violinist is "Jason Annick".

Anyone know who the violinist is in this set? Incredible.

John Jorgenson emulates the style, tone, phrasing of the master of gypsy jazz, Django Reinhardt better than any other North American guitarist. It is a true pleasure listening to John and his supporting musicians playing the music of Django Reinhardt.
