Tolga During

The Tolga Trio was founded in 1998 in Amsterdam by guitarist Tolga During. Inspired by the great Django Reinhardt he chose a line up of lead guitar, rhythm guitar and double bass. The intention was not so much to reproduce the style of Django, but to use it as a starting point for more musical explorations. The main part of the groups repertoire is written by Tolga, and in his compositions one can hear musical influences from the Balkan, France, Spain, Brazil and modern Jazz.
