Rino Van Hooijdonk holds a special place amongst the International gypsy jazz community, having long been respected as being one of the few non-gypsies to grow up learning Django-style guitar from the grand-masters in Holland.
As a young man he studied the art alongside Stochelo and Nous'che Rosenberg of the now world-famous ROSENBERG TRIO. Rino's progression as a player led to concerts and tours throughout Europe with incredible players such as LULU REINHARDT, BIRELI LAGRENE and FAPY LAFERTIN.
These days Rino is regarded as a grand master himself and a fine luthier (guitar-maker) of Selmer Maccaferri guitars. He will be making a rare UK appearance for one night only at Brighton's uber-cool jazz venue, The Verdict, backed by his friends in the JONNY HEPBIR TRIO.
Expect no mercy, this will be a blistering-hot session of pumping gypsy swing classics delivered with style and flair rarely seen in the area. Don't miss it! Cheap drinks! What can go wrong?
