DESCRIPTION:
Here's a snippet of the John Jorgenson Quintet playing the Django Reinhardt / Stephane Grappelli classic "Billet Doux" (Love Letters) acousticly and without any amplification.

Watch the intro with two fingers - just like Django ...

I had the pleasure of watching these fantastic musicians performs at an intimate venue, the Café Esperanza in Wuppertal / Germany, on May 8th, 2010.

The Quintet are:
John Jorgenson - guitar, bouzouki, vocals, clarinet
Jason Anick - violin
Doug Martin - rhythm guitar
Simon Planting - bass
Rick Reed - drums, percussion

Tania and Sandra Differding from Luxemburg joined them on trombones.

For the photographers: Filmed with a Nikon D90 and a 70-300 VR Nikkor handheld. Still trying to figure out how to get it going, but it's fun to play with ...!

What a night!
