John Jorgenson is a genius! Playing classical, Jazz and Gypsy style music, he excells in all of the above. In my opinion, John Jorgenson has influenced many different styles of music. Jazz and Classical music are the foundation of every style of music. What's your opinion??

Known as one of the pioneers of the American gypsy jass movement, John Jorgenson is a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, the Hellecasters and six year member of Elton John's band. Artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Bonnie Raitt to Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson's guitar work.

John's first solo album, released on Curb Records in 1988. After You've Gone features John's impressive Django-style gypsy jazz guitar paired neatly with his equally mind-blowing clarinet work for an all-instrumental jazz showstopper. A top-notch performance by a top-notch artist. Basically, John Jorgenson is amazing!

In 1993 Jorgenson formed the guitar trio The Hellecasters, along with Will Ray and Fairport Convention guitarist Jerry Donahue. Originally intended as a temporary collaboration, the Hellecasters went on to release several albums during the 1990s. Their debut, Return of the Hellecasters, released in 1993 won both the "Album of the Year" and "Country Album of the Year" awards from Guitar Player Magazine.

In 1994 Jorgenson was invited to join Elton John's band for an 18 month tour. Jorgenson remained with the band for the next six years performing both live and in the studio. His versatility was evident on stage, as he played guitar and saxophone for Elton in concert.

Now you may find him as a Takamine Acoustic Guitar endorser and clinician.
