The John Jorgenson Quintet May 15, 2008

This quintet features guitarist John Jorgenson, a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, the Hellecasters and six-year member of Elton John's band. Artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Bonnie Raitt to Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson's guitar work. At a John Jorgenson Quintet performance, audiences are amazed by John's dazzling guitar work as well as his mastery as a clarinetist and vocalist. Whether playing his own accessible compositions or classic standards, this artist and his band make music that is equally romantic and ecstatic, played with virtuosity and soul. Moody instrumentals with a touch of swamp rock.
