Doug Martin & Avatar Ensemble play Doug's original composition "Have You Seen Him?" at their concert at Porto Franco Parlor in SF on March 19, 2011.
That's right, the clip title should have been "Have You Seen Him?" and not "Her' According to Doug, there's a story behind this tune. Once I hear it, I won't make this mistake.

The Avatar Ensemble, led by guitarist Doug Martin, was formed in early 2009, performs a variety of high energy gypsy swing in the tradition of Django Reinhardt as well as hot Latin grooves and fiery gypsy waltzes. Rather than simply cover familiar hits of Djangoʼs era, Avatar Ensemble takes the tradition a step further by performing lesser heard gems of the genre as well as creating original material often implementing elements from other musical traditions of Europe, East Asia, South America and of course American Swing.
