Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio

Past event
Nov 03, 2004

Grammy Award-winning violinist and composer Mark O'Connor, backed by the driving finesse of bassist Jon Burr and guitarist Frank Vignola, sets jazz swinging. Violin-and-guitar designs of Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt are the inspiring force.

Both O'Connor and Burr performed with the grand old man of jazz violin; at age six Vignola was playing along with Reinhardt recordings. In this concert they fuse vintage influences with originality that's totally their own.

Critic's Comments

"They play like one three-headed, fire-breathing monster."
