Album Notes

Summers, Delaney & Sharp is an acoustic trio playing gypsy-style swing with a European influence. Their music is heavily inspired by the legendary Quintet of the Hot Club of France, which featured jazz visionaries Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.
Key to the trio's sound is lead guitarist Joe Summers, a jazz veteran who plays with passion and melodic intensity. The SD&S rhythm section features guitarist Brian Delaney and upright bassist Dave Sharp, who never cease to hold down the foundation for Joe's melodic invention. With an evolving sound, Summers, Delaney and Sharp is at home with jazz standards, Hot Club tunes and modern gypsy compositions.

"Like Django Reinhardt's Quintet of the Hot Club of France, hteir music is exciting & energetic, striking & unpredictable, yet beautiful & clear."
Erick Trickey Ann Arbor Observer
