A third-generation Sinti guitarist and son of legendary musician Dorado Schmitt, Samson Schmitt carries the Reinhardt tradition forward with blazing virtuosity and deep lyricism. Raised in the Manouche style yet fluent across jazz languages, his playing blends speed, clarity, and emotional depth. While Django’s spirit echoes in his phrasing, Samson’s voice as a soloist and composer is distinctly modern.
