Concert Series 2024

Djangotos
Gypsy Jazz, Django Reinhardt style

Saturday, November 2nd, 7.00pm (doors open at 6.30pm); $25 adv / $28 dr

Djangatos is a Los Gatos based acoustic trio that plays in the improvisational, fiercely rhythmic and lyrical style of Jean “Django” Reinhardt, the Belgian-born guitarist and composer who is celebrated for elevating so-called “gypsy jazz” to a wildly popular dance music form.

The Djangatos ultra traditional hot club sound is a banquet of complimentary nuances, warm and smooth, the lead guitar plectrum-forward, technically exquisite, expressive and nimble. The Djangatos trio features two acoustic guitars, Robert Alan Witmeyer on lead and Ron La France on rhythm, and a standup bass player.

“Playing lively sets at familiar venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz as a way to preserve the music and memory of Django, Stéphane, and the Quintet, these hep cats lay down some shimmering sharps and flats” – San Lorenzo Valley Post
