⭐️ About the Gourmet Gypsy Jazz Fusion Band
Led by Berks County's Josh Taylor, the Gourmet Gypsy Jazz Band is the region's premiere Hot Club / Django Reinhart group of musicians who take the audience along for a Gypsy Jazz experience beckoning back to the iconic Bohemian era along the Seine River in Paris when musicians, deep thinkers, writers, poets, painters and dreamers, sometimes fueled by the "Green Fairee of Absinthe," packed nightclubs, cafes and restaurants as they used jazz and free thinking to express themselves and change the world.
⭐️ About the Quarantined Quartet
Quarantined Quartet is a dynamic family guitar ensemble led by Jason and Elysa Hochman, founders of the New York Guitar Academy. Fusing Spanish, classical, flamenco, and acoustic styles, the Hochmans perform in various formats—as solo guitarists, the husband-and-wife duo Jay & Lee Rumba Flamenca, and together with their children as the Quarantined Quartet.
The Quarantined Quartet gained widespread recognition for their unique family performances, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, with appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Tamron Hall, Good Morning America, NBC News, CBS, News 12, and more. Their music, featuring original compositions and innovative arrangements of Spanish classical and rumba flamenco guitar pieces, creates a captivating and powerful atmosphere.
Their performances have graced prestigious venues and events, including Lincoln Center, US Open Finals Pre-Game Shows, film and music festivals, and high-profile celebrity events. As dedicated educators, Jason and Elysa also specialize in live, online guitar instruction through New York Guitar Academy.
