Lollo Meier
P r e s e n t a t i o n
Lollo Meier is swing / jazz / acoustic musician from Born, Limburg,
Netherlands.
Among the gypsy jazz musicians that play guitar in the style of Django Reinhardt,
there are a few that really stand out. Lollo Meier, 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.
Gypsy blood runs through the veins
of this absolute top guitar player who made it his goal in life to carry
on the music of Django Reinhardt. His technique and suppleness are
amazing, his music refreshing, not just the standard tunes that are
often heard in this genre. His unique style of playing has resulted in
an outstanding performance today, showing an extraordinary talent,
simply because Lollo makes the music he loves. In addition, he is an
accomplished composer of new tunes which have that genuine Django
flavour you just can't resist.
Lollo Meier's music is available at gypsymusic.nl and CD Baby. "Rosas" album
line up: Tcha Limberger - Violin; Lollo Meier - Guitar;
Dave Kelbie - Rhythm Guitar;
Andy Crowdy - Double Bass .
