Although gypsy-jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt died in 1953, there’s been a steady stream of players inspired by him over the past few decades. One such player is Robin Nolan, who’s hailed as one of the world’s leading guitarists in the Reinhardt tradition, as well as being a favorite guitarist of the late George Harrison. Nolan started to make a name for himself in the early ’90s in the gypsy-jazz community while busking on the Leidseplein in downtown Amsterdam. Since then he’s gone on to tour at festivals around the world. While Nolan’s gypsy-jazz chops are astonishingly fluid, he mixes it up a bit by occasionally tossing in flashes of Latin and pop. This Sunday when he performs at the Soiled Dove, Nolan will joined by the Hot Club of Boulder, a group that also has a strong affinity for Reinhardt.
