The Music of Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin.
—
This special performance brings to light the connections that the group has with the music of Django Reinhardt. All stories and connections to the quartet’s compositions will be shared at this event.
Ryan Picone Quartet is a group that was put together to showcase the original compositions of Ryan Picone. The music has been written throughout different time periods in his life, and represents his connection to the music of Django Reinhardt. The band consists of Ryan Picone from The Red Hot Django Peppers, Ian Stenlund from The Mississippi Hot Club, Tessa Nichols Meade from the Cold City Heat, and Matt Blake from the Gentleman’s Anti Temperance League. This group is an all-star group that brings together a new transfiguration of Jazz.
In 2023 the Ryan Picone Quartet released their debut album titled – ‘I Awake’ dedicated to the legendary Django Reinhardt. The album has received great praise from the Django community including author Michael Dregni. In 2024 RPQ played their first Django Festival alongside musicians like Joscho Stephan and Sam Farthing.
Album Review by author; Michael Dregni.
“Swinging, sensual, moody, rousing — Ryan Picone Quartet’s music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy jazz. Listening to these tracks, you can almost smell the campfire smoke and see the nighttime lights of Paris burning on the horizon. Bon voyage!”
