ABOUT TOMMY
In 2002 Tommy Davy began his journey to study the world of Gypsy music. His introduction was initially through the music of Django Reinhardt and through his teachers he discovered more traditional Gypsy music from other cultures such as Serbia, Romania, Hungary, and Russia.
He has accompanied and performed in concert with international artists including Angelo Debarre, Ludovic Beier, Samson Schmitt, Raphaël Faÿs, Jon Brion, Gismo Graf, Tcha Limberger, Lolo Meier, George Miu, Florin Niculescu, Boulou Ferre, and Rickie Lee Jones. He studied with masters in Europe such as Angelo Debarre, Miroslav Tadic, Petro Ivanovitch, Ernest Bango, Frank Anastasio and Serge Camps. His studies also included North Indian classical music with Ustad Aashish Khan and Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri.
In 2008 Tommy founded DjangoGuitars; a purpose-built specialty shop and preservation hub that brings a deeply-rooted European sensibility to the American guitar market. There are over 150 DjangoGuitars self-produced brand items and accessories offered. Tommy has restored and adjusted some of the most highly regarded and valuable vintage guitars. Tommy’s clientele includes discerning artists and connoisseurs such as Boulou Ferre, Andy Summers, Pat Metheny, Nile Rodgers, Willie Nelson, Angelo Debarre, Stephane Wrembel, Johnny Rosenberg, and Stochelo Rosenberg.
In 2012 Tommy founded Trio Dinicu along with violinist Luanne Homzy and bassist Frank Anastasio. This group blends folk, jazz, classical and Gypsy music in an improvisatory conversation. Trio Dinicu weaves many different musical genres under one roof, literally obliterating the boundaries that separate these otherwise distinct styles.
In 2017 Tommy produced and presented vintage instruments in a live interactive presentation on the history of Django Reinhardt featuring author/Django expert Michael Dregni at the Los Angeles Django Reinhardt Festival.
In January of 2020, Tommy launched his own Gypsy-Jazz model in collaboration with Altamira Guitars.
Notable instruments in his collection have been featured in the upcoming Favino book by Patrice Veillon and Arnaud Legrand. Tommy is a recurring contributor to Acoustic Guitar Magazine on the subject of Gypsy Jazz and has been featured in the NY Times.
