The Library Concert Series: The Django Shredders present Gypsy Jazz.
Saturday, June 3rd from 2 – 3 pm.
Guitarists Alex Ciavarelli and Rudy Marquez met as undergraduates in the Jazz Studies program at San Diego State University. Combining traditional gypsy jazz with elements of modern jazz, they play with a youthful energy while harmonically keeping one foot in the past and one in the present. With influences such as Bireli Lagrene, Andreas Oberg, Stochelo Rosenberg, and of course Django Reinhardt, this contemporary take on Gypsy Jazz is sure to impress. See insert at end of this document.
