Musicians' Spotlight for November 20, 2012
1:30 PM - 1:58 PM
Today's Highlight: John Floridis hosts Pearl Django
Contact information for producer:
John Floridis | john@johnfloridis.com
This Seattle, Washington based group is one of the northwest's leading purveyors of "Gypsy Jazz", the style first popularized by the great guitarist Django Rheinhardt. Though members have changed over the years, the core band led by violinist Michael Gray continues to be inspired by the energy of the music and the enthusiastic response by audiences.

Shawn Colvin, Patty Larkin, and Leo Kottke have all stopped by the Montana Public Radio studios to play a little and talk with Brian Kopper and John Floridis. Performers talk about the inspiration behind their music and what it's like to both create and perform the music.
Montana artists like Zoe Wood and Wilson & McKee get equal time. Each week, hosts Brian Kopper and John Floridis, composers and performers themselves, give listeners a glimpse into the lives and art of the modern day troubadour.
