Doctor Django

Violinist Jens Byskov Jensen plays under the artist name Doctor Django as bandleader of the jazz quartet Doctor Django and his Nurses. 

Born in Denmark, Django began as a classical violinist, graduating from the music academy. For a while, he worked in the 1st violin section (2nd desk) with a suburban symphony in Chicago. Soon, warm winds lured him down to New Orleans where he was greatly influenced by the musical gumbo of the crescent city with its many styles and genres. Subsequently, Django returned to Europe. 

Meeting Italian guitarist Enrico Rosa became an important milestone, and Rosa's progressive sounds are fundamental in the present band's music. 

The music of Doctor Django and his Nurses has been warmly welcomed in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark, where the band has toured for several years and performed at music venues and festivals.  

The band is truly international with Emilian Tupa on bass and Henrik Nielsen on drums and percussion.
