~ Nick Ariondo Trio/Django style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXkE1Z5AmEA
Nick Ariondo, accordionist/composer, mixes Roumanian, Russian, 'Gypsy Jazz' influences with Django Reinhardt's French-gypsy jazz style as notable colleagues Benedikt Brydern-violin and John Reynolds-guitar together join in, adding a colorful blend of musical styles and textures. Ariondo's solo accordion opens with his unique version of Romanian, Russian gypsy music followed by a musical montage of accordion, violin & guitar 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!...
