440 Gypsy Jazz at Atwood's Tavern

“A jazz you like”

What is “gypsy jazz”? It’s uplifting, fun, melodic, and emotional music.

Enjoyable for general audience and also appreciative for advanced

listeners. You may think you don’t know gypsy jazz, but once you hear

it, I bet you will say, “Uh…, I get it. I’ve heard it before. I love this kind

of music!”

Combining the sounds of jazz and gypsy music with a rich harmonic

blend of violin and clarinet , 440 expands on the tradition of gypsy jazz

established by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. A compilation

of danceable swing standards from the era of Fats Waller, Cole Porter,

George Gershwin & Benny Goodman and captivating originals by the

band. (http://www.jazzyviolinist.com/440.html)
