Guitarist John Jorgenson is a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, the Hellecasters, and six-year member of Elton John's band. At a John Jorgenson Quintet performance, audiences are amazed by John's dazzling guitar work as well as his mastery as a clarinet player and vocalist.

Whether playing his own accessible compositions or classic standards, John and his band make music that is equally romantic and ecstatic, played with virtuosity and soul. Recently, John Jorgenson was chosen to portray Django Reinhardt in the feature film Head in the Clouds.
