The Ryan Picone Quartet has become a creative force in the Twin Cities’ jazz scene, blending a deep Hot Club Jazz tradition. The Ryan Picone Quartet's music is rooted in the spirit of Django Reinhardt, yet the quartet often ventures into other musical landscapes.

“Swinging, sensual, moody, rousing—Ryan Picone Quartet's music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt's Gypsy jazz. Listening to these tracks, you can almost smell the campfire smoke and see the nighttime lights of Paris burning on the horizon."—Michael Dregni, Author Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend.

The Ryan Picone Quartet is led by guitarist and composer Dr. Ryan Anthony Picone. A devoted acolyte of the celebrated guitarist Stéphane Wrembel, Ryan’s music is deeply connected to the foundational spirit of Django Reinhardt, yet it draws influence from Choro, Nuevo Tango, Raga, Flamenco, Maqam, Cuban son montuno to, Post-Minimalist, and Classical traditions—each woven seamlessly into the fabric of the quartet’s musical identity.
