Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson, known for his exquisite guitar techniques and world-class musicianship, leads his instrumental gypsy jazz quintet in this not-to-be missed concert. Making a rare stop in So. California, the renowned ensemble performs the unique swing style sounds of the melodic music of Django Reinhardt in a mix of soulful romance and rollicking celebration. John Jorgenson, possibly one of the best jazz guitarists alive, is known for his mastery of a broad musical palette and is leaving a lasting legacy in the art of guitar performance. The group’s style has been called gypsy jazz after the dynamic string-driven swing created in 1930’s Paris – but their compositions draw in elements of Latin, Romanian, Classical, Rock and Greek music, so perhaps a more apt description is “21st Century World Music.” This show is golden. The music soars! Visit: John Jorgenson Quintet John Jorgenson on Facebook

We will work with the model as well as with drapery in order to study the way form can be compressed from full dimensionality into low and mid relief.
