King, Charlie Musslewhite, Bruce Forman, Frank Gambale, Steve Morse, Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell, Joe Pass, Joe Diorio, Simon Planting, and Jimmy Bruno. Expanding into gypsy jazz via listening to Django Recordings in European Jazz Studies, he quickly sought the advise of guitarists Paul Mehling, Neil Andersson, and Robin Nolan, by attending workshops or jamming whenever possible. This opened doors by transcribing from modern gypsy greats Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg, and Bireli Legrene. Being a part of the original Djangofest Event started in Washington (USA), Don created the popular 3000 plus members e-group and web site called "gypsyjazzguitar" to network with players and fans interested in this high energy form of acoustic swing-jazz. As leader and founder of J A Z Z G I T A N, Don can be found seeking to refine his craft, playing this spirited style of music called "le jazz hot." |
