Nick Ariondo, accordion & composer, mixes his ‘Gypsy Jazz’ influences with Django Reinhardt’s French-gypsy jazz style as notable colleagues Benedikt Brydern-violin and John Reynolds-guitar eventually join in. Ariondo’s solo accordion opens with his unique version of Romanian / Russian gypsy music followed by a musical montage of accordin, violin & guitar and Reinhardt’s ‘Gitan’ as arranged by Ariondo. Nick navigates as the veteran trio seamlessly weaves around driving rhythms, melodic inventiveness and gypsy improv. throughout the ever-changing musical tapestry. Highest regards and respect go out to musicians Ben Brydern & John Reynolds in collaboration with accordionist/composer Nick Ariondo as we are all blessed with the music of Django Reinhardt — a man who created his very own vocabulary of jazz according to Django. Merci!…Long live the music of the gypsies!
