Musician

Hello! My name is Don Price. I am a Jazz Guitarist who has taught and played music for over 50 years.

The music of Jazz Gitan is the swinging jazz of the 30s and 40s, plus a cross-section of songs from the modern Gypsy Jazz repertoire together with my original compositions. It includes latin, blues, swing, and pop styles combined to create a unique foot tapping and high energy Parisian influenced experience.
