The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet
gonzalobergara.com/
The all-acoustic Gonzalo Bergara Quartet plays a modern
variant of 1930’s Django Reinhardt-inspired gypsy jazz. Composer and
lead guitarist Gonzalo Bergara mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the
sounds of Paris and his native Argentina. His first CD, Porteña Soledad,
was Editor’s Pick in Guitar Player Magazine, and Vintage Guitar
Magazine called it a "masterpiece." The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet consists
of Gonzalo Bergara on lead guitar, Jeffrey Radaich on rhythm guitar,
Leah Zeger on violin, and Brian Netzley on upright bass. The music is
heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, as
well as the traditional jazz and music of Bergara's true home, Buenos
Aires. "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music
does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement
with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the
music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is
serious….and deeply moving.”
