Terrific musicians - arrived on time - set up and were ready to play. Kicked off the wedding with a wonderful interpretation of the classic Beatles tune of "Here Comes the Sun". Played all of our favorite Gypsy Jazz selection! We received many positive comments from our guests - I highly recommend Gypsy Caravan!
Gypsy Jazz Caravan is a New York City based acoustic ensemble that plays Hot Jazz inspired by the music of legendary French Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. Gypsy Jazz Caravan's extensive repertoire includes swing standards, ballads, bossa novas, tangos, waltzes and a growing number of original compositions. The lineup includes: NY veteran guitarist, Marc Daine, who has recorded for RCA records and toured with the Broadway show, "Big River"; virtuoso violinist, Rob Thomas, who JazzTimes calls "a violinist of exceptional creative resources... riveting as a solo voice with a rich complex tone that can sing or shriek"; bassist, Mike Weatherly, who has performed for President Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, and Pope John Paul II and top NY Gypsy Swing rhythm guitarist, Glenn Tosto.
