Djangatos is a Los Gatos based acoustic trio that
plays in the improvisational, fiercely rhythmic and lyrical style of Jean
"Django" Reinhardt, the Belgian-born guitarist and composer who is
celebrated for elevating so-called "gypsy jazz" to a wildly popular dance music
form.
The Djangatos ultra traditional hot club sound is a banquet of
complimentary nuances, warm and smooth, the lead guitar plectrum-forward,
technically exquisite, expressive and nimble. The Djangatos trio features two
acoustic guitars, Robert Alan Witmeyer on lead and Ron La France
on rhythm, and standup bass featuring some of the area's best musicians
including go-to pro Dan Robbins.
"Playing lively sets at
familiar venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz as a way
to preserve the music and memory of Django, Stéphane, and the Quintet,
these hep cats lay down some shimmering sharps and flats" - San Lorenzo
