George Rodger Sextet featuring Hermie Longalong

The band has been playing in Central Scotland for the past five years and after a spell of retirement from the music business, George (guitar) brought together some of his past colleagues to concentrate on Gypsy style Jazz mainly in the vein of the legendary Django Reinhardt and more recently Bireli Lagrene. Three of the ensemble are  brothers!   Big Frank Henery (guitar) has a unique style very much of his own and was greatly influenced by the late great Barney Kessell.

He has accompaniment from the younger members of the family in the form of Danny (accordion) and also John (double  bass).   To complete the quintet is Tony Muir (drums/percussion).   All musicians play a wide selection of jazz and their program will display this.
