Dorado Schmitt And The Django Festival NY Festival Allstars • Live At The Kennedy Center

 




Dorado Schmitt (born 29 May 1957) is a French guitarist and violinist in Gypsy jazz.

Biography
Schmitt was born in Saint-Avold, Lorraine, France on 29 May 1957. He started playing guitar at the age of seven with his father as his teacher. His father also introduced him to violin. Schmitt composed his own pieces, incorporating improvisation and challenging techniques, among which Bossa Dorado which has become a jazz standard. He eventually became as comfortable with swing and gypsy waltz as with bossa nova and flamenco.
He established the Dorado Trio in 1978 with Gino Reinhardt on double bass and Hono Winterstein on rhythm guitar. Later, guitarist Claudio Favari joined the group and performed at the Burghausen Jazz Festival in 1983. He recorded the albums Hommage a la Romenes and in 1984 Notre Histoire. The first remained a jazz best-seller for several weeks in Germany.
Schmitt was in a car crash in 1988, leaving him in a coma for eleven days. He spent two years in rehabilitation before he could return to the trio, which recorded Gypsy Reunion in 1993 and Parisienne in 1994. He dropped out of music again in 1997 when Gino Reinhardt died. Two years passed before he assembled another group, in which he played often with his son, Samson Schmitt, and with Christian Escoudé and Babik Reinhardt, the son of Django Reinhardt. He has also worked with Angelo Debarre, Boulou Ferré and his brother Elios Ferré, James Carter, Paquito D'Rivera, Biréli Lagrène, and a Django Reinhardt tribute band led by Brian Torff. Schmitt had a role in Latcho Drom, a documentary about gypsies for which he composed the soundtrack.

Family
His cousin Tchavolo Schmitt is also a gypsy jazz guitarist, as are his sons Samson, Bronson, and Amati.

Biografía
Schmitt nació en Saint-Avold, Lorena, Francia, el 29 de mayo de 1957. Comenzó a tocar la guitarra a los siete años con su padre como maestro. Su padre también le introdujo al violín. Schmitt compuso sus propias piezas, incorporando improvisación y técnicas desafiantes, entre las que destaca la Bossa Dorado que se ha convertido en un estándar del jazz. Eventualmente se sintió tan cómodo con el swing y el vals gitano como con la bossa nova y el flamenco.

Más tarde, el guitarrista Claudio Favari se unió al grupo y actuó en el Festival de Jazz de Burghausen en 1983. Grabó los álbumes Hommage a la Romenes y en 1984 Notre Histoire. El primero siguió siendo un éxito de ventas de jazz durante varias semanas en Alemania.
Schmitt sufrió un accidente automovilístico en 1988, dejándolo en coma durante once días. Pasó dos años en rehabilitación antes de poder regresar al trío, que grabó Gypsy Reunion en 1993 y Parisienne en 1994. Abandonó la música nuevamente en 1997 cuando murió Gino Reinhardt. Pasaron dos años antes de que reuniera otro grupo, en el que tocaba a menudo con su hijo, Samson Schmitt, y con Christian Escoudé y Babik Reinhardt, el hijo de Django Reinhardt. También ha trabajado con Angelo Debarre, Boulou Ferré y su hermano Elios Ferré, James Carter, Paquito D'Rivera, Biréli Lagrène y una banda tributo a Django Reinhardt liderada por Brian Torff.
