The name is Reinhardt, Lulo
Reinhardt. The great-nephew of Django Reinhardt is coming to Gateshead !
On Tuesday 30 September the gypsy jazz guitarist visits Sage Gateshead mid-way
through an extensive British tour.
Born into the Reinhardt dynasty,
from an early age Lulo had a guitar in his hands. At the age of twelve he
toured with the Mike Reinhardt Sextet. Possessing an authentic gypsy jazz
guitar technique, Lulo embraced other cultures including flamenco and Latin
jazz sounds. Lulo introduced piano and drums to his music calling it Latin
Swing. CD and DVD releases have followed at regular intervals, the latest, BAWO, is dedicated to his late father.
Lulo Reinhardt is an endorsee of
Saga Musical Instruments’ Gitane Jazz Guitar. At Sage Gateshead there is a once
in a lifetime opportunity to learn from a master practitioner of the art as
Lulo leads an afternoon workshop. The evening concert features his five piece
band – Daniel Waltinger (violin), Winfried Schuld (piano), Harald Becker (bass)
and Uli Krämer-Ragusi (drums).

a discounted workshop and concert ticket offer) contact Sage Gateshead’s box
