Giovanni Weiss & Django Deluxe
Hamburg jazz and gypsy swing guitarist and two-time ECHO Jazz award winner Giovanni Weiss & Django Deluxe.
Tickets 10 - 16 Euro
"Django Reinhardt is still an important part of the Sinti Swing repertoire. But music only moves forward when everyone also goes their own way with Django Reinhardt's inspiration," Giovanni Weiss finds.
His band Giovanni Weiss Quartet - Django Deluxe is indeed in the tradition of the great Gypsy Swing master, but it wants more. In addition to the classic Sinti sounds, Giovanni Weiss is influenced above all by Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and Pat Metheny, to name just a few of Giovanni Weiss' great idols.
Both albums released so far, "Wilhelmsburg" (2012) and "Driving" (2015, together with the NDR Bigband), were awarded the ECHO Jazz in the respective following year. Giovanni Weiss has also performed with the NDR Bigband at the Elbjazz Festival and at the Kölner Philharmonie.
