John Jorgenson Quintet live!
Going to see the John Jorgenson Quintet this Friday night--so rare that guys of this quality make it up to Alaska, though things have been improving the last few years. Too young to have ever seen Django....maybe this is the next best thing?? PSYCHED!!

Prepare yourself for a great show. I saw them play at my friend John Hornbacher's house a while back and they were outstanding!
Bring some dough to buy some swag. He had a ton of cds and instructional material with him.

Alaska?!
I'm seeing them tonight here in Nacogdoches, Texas, in a university concert hall--- That's quite a tour bump! Caught him here the first time one year ago. Incredible musicians, tho you may want to sell your guitars afterward  .

Seen em 3 times in SF. Incredible performance.
I emailed John about a year and a half ago to see if they'd consider playing at Purdue. I noticed that the David Grissman quartet was playing here, and they jam together sometimes, so I thought it was a good shot. Last semester, low and behold, the JJ quintet came to Purdue, but I had taken the semester off for an internship

You're in for a treat. I saw them here in NC, and was blown away.

I see him every chance I get. The first time was a real eye-opener for me.

His guitar playing will blow you away. And then he'll pull out the clarinet for a couple of numbers and you'll think "It just ain't fair."

Up until recently my old bud Gonzalo Bergara was his second guitar player...Google him and find out why every player in South Florida despised him so much....:BEER

Saw his band last summer and was suitably impressed that he was not attempting to be some Django/gypsy swing tribute act. He does not employ the traditional right hand technique that defines the very sound of the manouche players, so I would have a hard time if he was trying to pass himself off as such. He played an outdoor concert series in my area that draws a general audience, and they appeared to be thoroughly entertained. I don't believe that would have been the case if his show was strictly a slavish Django clonification. Hats off to J.J.
