Duved Dunayevsky

Duved Dunayevsky is a guitarist, composer, and conductor based in Paris. He is widely recognized as the leading interpreter of Django Reinhardt's 1930s guitar style. Born in Israel, Duved is largely self-taught. He spent his teenage years playing jazz fusion, with a particular interest in the work of John Scofield. He discovered Django Reinhardt's music and then decided to dedicate himself entirely to this style. He has gained a reputation for his remarkable ability to embody "that sound" beloved by Django fans and sought after by students of this style. He, along with violinist Daniel Garlitsky, is responsible for the reformation of the historic Quintette du Hot Club de France.
