Artist description Summers, Delaney & Sharp is an acoustic trio playing gypsy-style swing inspired by Django Reinhardt and the legendary Quintet of the Hot Club of France. While the trio maintains a reverence for the past, it looks to the future of improvisational jazz. Key to the trio's sound is lead guitarist Joe Summers, a jazz veteran who plays with passion and melodic intensity. SDS' rhythm section, guitarist Brian Delaney and upright bassist Dave Sharp, never cease to hold down the foundation for Joe's melodic invention. With an evolving sound, Summers, Delaney & Sharp are at home with classic jazz standards from yesteryear as well as modern gypsy compositions.
