DON PRICE | JAZZ GITAN

Jazz Gitan [pronouned J'tawn] is a premiere Northern California acoustic jazz ensemble that specializes in what has been called the Hot Club style of jazz in the tradition of gypsy swing created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli during their domination of the Paris jazz scene in the 1930s. In French, the name Jazz Gitan simply means Gypsy Jazz. A fitting name for this group. The music of JAZZ GITAN is the swinging jazz of the 30s and 40s, plus a cross-section of songs from the modern Gypsy Jazz repertoire of today and original tunes composed by guitarist/leader Don Price. Celebrating the music and spirit of Django Reinhardt and gypsy jazz, Jazz Gitan seeks to provide the audience with exciting, engaging music for all to enjoy.
