Gian Compuesto is a Madison, Wisconsin based musician who specializes in the Gypsy Jazz/Jazz Manouche/Django Reinhardt musical style.

After first starting out playing classic rock, alternative rock, and metal, Gian discovered his love for the music of Django Reinhardt and of the Sinti/Manouche communities of Europe. He is an avid learner of the history of Gypsy Jazz/Jazz Manouche/Django Reinhardt style music as well as the cultures that influence it.

Gian’s style incorporates elements of gypsy jazz, contemporary jazz, blues, rock, and metal. He cites Django Reinhardt, Tchavolo Schmitt, Biréli Lagrène, Sébastien Giniaux, Amati Schmitt (and other Forbach based musicians) from the gypsy jazz scene, as well as Shawn Lane and Eddie Van Halen as having the biggest impact on his music.

Gian performs regularly in the Madison, WI area and has performed at gypsy jazz festivals such as the Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest and Django in June.
