(Gypsy, Swing) Paul Vernon Chester - Suite Django - 1997, MP3, 320

One of the UK’s and the world’s finest Gypsy Jazz guitarists, Paul’s playing and compositions are rapidly bringing him to the forefront of the jazz guitar scene. His playing , in the Django tradition, is warm open hearted and high octane! Regularly appearing on the same stage as many of big names of the genre, Paul’s work has been broadcast both in the UK and abroad. His compositions once heard are rarely forgotten. ‘Hauntingly beautiful’ and ‘infectious’ are both accurate descriptions that have been applied to Paul’s music, as proven in many performances that have earned him huge respect from audiences and artists alike. He is internationally respected and has shared stages with some of the world’s finest Gypsy Jazz musicians. Described by one hardened Gypsy Jazz fan as “scarily good” he not only plays with great technical finesse but, most importantly, with enormous charm and soul. He is supported by his cousin and long time accompanist, the superb rhythm guitarist, Nick Mellor.
