For over 30 years, American violinist and composer Mark O'Connor has led his own groups while working with artists as diverse as Renée Fleming, James Taylor, Alison Krauss, David Grisman, Wynton Marsalis, Patty Loveless, Béla Fleck and Yo-Yo Ma. 'Connor's Hot Swing Trio!, featuring guitarist Julian Lage and bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, invokes the playfulness and fire of the hot club jazz idiom in the 100th birth year of jazz pioneer Django Reinhardt.
"O'Connor is a genre unto himself." -Philadelphia Enquirer
Virtuoso French bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons is a composer of Catalonian origin trained at the Paris Conservatory which specializes in the technique of playing arco on a customized 5-string bass. Influenced by the traditions of the Mediterranean rim, Latin America, flamenco and jazz, his playing stuns audiences around the globe. Another Savannah debut!
"Garcia-Fons, the extraordinary French/Spanish double-bass virtuoso, brings together fans of folk and world music, lovers of classical cello, jazz-buffs, even flared-nostril flamenco stompers - he has everything."-The Guardian
