I have a last minute gig special this coming Friday 19th May from 8pm at Fez Margate, 40 High St.
A rare local opportunity to see myself in a Gypsy Jazz Guitar Duo with Brighton-based Jazz Guitar maestro, Jason Henson.
Jason and I are old friends and we've been playing together in the JONNY HEPBIR TRIO & QUARTET for over fourteen years!
We have a private JONNY HEPBIR TRIO booking the day after at Turner Contemporary in Margate, so it was only fitting to see if I could rustle up a public gig the night before.
Thanks to the amazing ongoing support of Phil Evans (the owner of Fez), I've managed to get us in at the best and quirkiest bar in town!
Come on down! This is going to be a HOT night of Django Reinhardt infused guitar music.
We've spent quite a bit of time playing with some of the top Gypsy Jazz players in Europe. It's the best way to really learn how to 'dig in' with this dynamic guitar style.
Here's a couple of videos of the two of us playing over the years.
This first one is in Holland in 2013 with Paulus Schäfer and Feigeli Prisor two of the finest exponents of the 'Dutch Style' of Gypsy Jazz guitar.
This one is from a concert at Fairkytes Art Centre in Hornchurch, Essex in 2016.
Lastly, here's one of the popular Duo videos from the JONNY HEPBIR TRIO YOUTUBE CHANNEL filmed in 2010.
