from ZONIC ENTERTAINMENT :
In connection with the forthcoming FRANK ZAPPA FESTIVAL in Norway (arranged by th Po-Jama People) next weekend, Hot Club Records proudly presents:
JON LARSON - A PORTRAIT OF JON LARSEN (HCRCD 224).
The best recordings by guitar virtuoso Jon Larsen, one of the original pioneers from the renaissance of the Django Reinhardt music. Here together with Babik Reinhardt (Django's son), a 13 year old Jimmy Rosenberg, Ulf Wakenius (Oscar Peterson Trio), piano player Egil Kapstad, Hot Club de Norvège, string quartets, symphony orchestras, Zappa alumnis: Tommy Mars, Bruce Fowler, Jimmy Carl Black, and many others. An amazing compilation by one of the most original guitar player/composers of our time.
The music is clearly inspired by Django, Zappa, Piazzolla, and others, but unmistakebly Larsen. In the swinging landscape between jazz, rock and classical music, the singer/songwriter-tradition has a parallell in the guitar player/composer-tradition, where Jon Larsen is among the best.
Jon Larsen is also the founder of Zonic Entertainment - dedicated to Zappa-inspired music.
The new CD is available today - both as download (full cover artwork included on iTunes), or as CD.
