Among the gypsy jazz musicians that play guitar in the style of Django Reinhardt, there are a few that really stand out. Lollo a Dutch gypsy was raised on gypsy Jazz and started playing at the age of 12 with members of his family. He is truly a legacy of the old master and certainly belongs to an elite group. Gipsy blood runs through the veins of this absolute top guitar player who made his goal in life to carry on the music of Django Reinhardt. His technique and suppleness are amazing, his music refreshing, not the standard tunes that are often heard in this genre. His unique style of playing has resulted in his performance today which is an extraordinary talent, simply because he makes music he loves. In addition he is an accomplished composer of new tunes which have that genuine Django flavour. After playing in a Belgium band called "Swing 42" he started his own band called The LOLLO MEIER QUARTET this gave him the opportunity to express his own style and ideas. .Lollo and his quartet have performed all over Europe at various well known jazz festivals. He spends much of his time giving workshops and sharing his artistry with anyone who is interested in his music.
One could talk about his music for hours until you hear him, then silence sets in and the only thing left is sheer pleasure. A remarkable man with remarkable style of playing!.
