440 Gypsy Jazz TOE-TAPPING SNAPPY HOT JAZZ

A rich harmonic blend of violin and clarinet which expands the gypsy jazz tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. A compilation of danceable swing standards from the era of Cole Porter, George Gershwin & Benny Goodman and captivating originals by the band. Led by Berklee-trained, Japanese jazzy violinist Tomoko Iwamoto, 440-Gypsy Jazz recently released their first album “Why Why”.

The passion and musicianship of 440’s originals bring together the refined quality of Woody Allen’s Manhattan with a dramatic range like French tenor Charles Aznavour to provide an engaging journey from the exquisitely beautiful & captivating ballad to the infectious hot club jazz.
