DJANGO GYPSIES
Among the gypsy jazz musicians that play in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli, there are a few that really stand out. This group truly recreates the legacy of the old masters and certainly is elite. Gypsy blood runs through the veins of the top jazz violinist, Igor Oskolkov. His colleague, pianist Vitaly Barishnikov's technique and suppleness are amazing, his music refreshing, not the standard tunes that are often heard in this genre. Django Gypsies are sustained by the rhythmic and well known jazz guitarist Pierre Jaquinot. One could talk about their music for hours .. and then.. when you are in the audience silence sets in and the only thing left is sheer pleasure. They craftfully present the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli as well as Gypsy Folk music. A remarkable group that will take you on a journey to the 30s and 40s .. French Gypsy Jazz.
