Swing Is In The Air
Sunday September 1st, 2024 with Paul Campbell
Django Reinhart/Jonathan Stout/Hot Club of Mars

Jonathan Stout is a bandleader and guitarist specializing in pre-bebop jazz guitar. As a guitarist, Jonathan draws from the many and varied styles of pre-bebop jazz guitar, including the rhythm guitar of Freddie Green, the electric single-note style of Charlie Christian, the acoustic block-chord solos of Allan Reuss, and the gypsy-jazz of Django Reinhardt. === Jean Reinhardt (23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953), known by his Romani nickname Django, was a Belgian Manouche or Sinti jazz guitarist and composer. He was one of the first major jazz talents to emerge in Europe and has been hailed as one of its most significant exponents. === Deanna Knight was Vancouver's Chanteuse with this 5-7 piece gypsy-swing & world rhythms ensemble featuring Michael Dunn, Don Kellett, Bugzy Szabo, Mark Dowding, Joe Boucher & Tom Neville they were together the Hot Club of Mars. A feature of the Vancouver hot jazz scene from 2001 to 2016, a rare appearance still happens from time to time at the Secret Beach B&B Suites (https://www.secretbeachbandb.com/).
