The John Jorgenson Quintet (JJQ) is an internationally recognized group celebrated for its masterful performance of Django Reinhardt hotclub jazz, often blending the style with elements of Latin, Romanian, Greek, classical and rock music.
Led by Grammy Award-winning guitarist and multi-instrumentalist John Jorgenson—who is renowned for his collaborations with artists like Elton John and Bonnie Raitt—the Quintet channels the string-driven swing pioneered by Django Reinhardt in 1930s Paris. The JJQ holds the distinction of being the only American act to ever headline the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in France, cementing their reputation as the “U.S. ambassadors of gypsy jazz.”
