The Djangomatics: this is a true 'Django' band and can be a trio of two guitars and string bass, or up to a quintet with three guitars, bass and violin. I've been playing with the Djangomatics occasionally in the Seattle area for the last year or so. Other personnel are guitarists Michael Horowitz and Kevin Connor, bassist Kevin Stevens and Claude Ginsburg, violin. It’s a fine group and swings! www.djangomatics.com www.djangomatics.com/ . |
