About
After touring extensively with the John Jorgensen Quintet, native Argentinian Gonzalo Bergara has emerged as a guitar virtuoso, forging his own style of progressive gypsy jazz. While heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, Bergara has managed to put his own distinctive stamp on the genre. He lavishes care on each phrase and pares away the extraneous until he’s left with pure musical expression. His quartet performs meticulous arrangements of Bergara’s latest album, 2011’s Simplicated, the follow-up to his acclaimed Portena Soledad.
