The Lord of the Strings Concerts Presents The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet

“This Argentinean plays like he has had a guitar in his hand from birth. His fingers just fly across the fretboard and the music wraps itself around you and catapults you. Yes, he plays very much in the style of Django but his own compositions also have a Latin flavor from his own Argentina. That flavor gives the songs a kick. The band’s one-hour and twenty minute set last night brought the house to its feet for a standing ovation – blown away by what it had seen. I wouldn’t say that Bergara is better than Django. He’s different. But the difference adds something new to the gipsy Jazz genre. It’s gipsy jazz but with a new flavor. When the set was over I tuned to my wife and told her (still amazed), that was some of the best musicianship I have ever seen.”
Review from Fretbase after the Mill Valley Djangofest

If you have any negative thought about Jazz or don’t know what Gypsy Jazz is, just come to one of these shows. This is different; it is rhythmic, melodic, fun, astonishing and just plain fantastic! Tina and I had the same experience the first time we saw Gonzalo and this quartet. We strongly suggest checking this one out; it will exceed all your expectations, seriously.
