Jonathan Ng
Band Leader
New York, New York
Jazz violinist, vocalist, and bandleader Jonathan Ng (He/Him) has spent the majority of his life making music that moves people. He specializes in the traditions of swing and gypsy jazz, combining musical virtuosity with emotional expression. Jonathan also possesses a unique knowledge of swing dance bandleading founded on his expertise as a lindy hop, balboa, and blues dancer. Whether playing for a seated audience or a crowded floor of dancers, Jonathan seeks to share the spark which made him first fall in love with the recordings of Django Reinhardt and Count Basie.
Luca Pino
Featured Musician
Los Angeles, California
Luca Pino (He/Him) is a Los Angeles based guitarist, whose hot jazz stylings are cut from the cloth of Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman, and Freddie Green. He leads his own quartet entitled "Pino Noir", in which he reimagines the 1930's Paris swing sound with exciting arrangements, electric fashion sense, and original compositions. He's headlined various gypsy jazz festivals such as Djangofest Northwest in Seattle, and Djangojazz Festival in Mexico, not to mention a teaching stint at Django In June in Massachusetts. His penchant of early 20th-Century swing guitar has also led him to world tours with Postmodern Jukebox, as well as performing with local acts such as Lizzy & The Triggermen and Jonathan Stout's Boulevardiers.
