Despite the band name, these guys are no Gypsy Jazz purists. Sure there are a couple of wonderful Django Reinhardt gems, but this CD also includes tunes by John Coltrane as well as Willie Nelson; there is Edith Piaf as well as Paul Desmond. To top things off, there are a bunch of new originals including a tango and calypso. What holds the whole thing together is a respect for melody, and some healthy virtuosity. The players, in the band are each musical veterans, each having played this kind of jazz for more than thirty years. Violinist Rob Thomas is a violin and improvisation instuctor at Berklee School of Music as well as being a busy performer; guitarist Marc Daine performs, teaches and runs jazz workshops in NYC. Bassist Mike Weatherly also performs with most of NYC's trad jazz groups including renowned jazz banjoist Cynthia Sayer. Rhythm guitarist Glenn Tosto has played with, and has recently co-authored a jazz guitar instruction method with noted guitar virtuoso Frank Vignola.

A pesar del nombre del grupo, estos chicos no son puristas del jazz gitano. Por supuesto, hay un par de maravillosas gemas de Django Reinhardt, pero este CD también incluye melodías de John Coltrane, Willie Nelson, Edith Piaf y Paul Desmond. Por si fuera poco, hay un puñado de nuevos temas originales, entre ellos un tango y un calipso. Lo que mantiene el conjunto unido es el respeto por la melodía y un sano virtuosismo. Los miembros del grupo son veteranos de la música y llevan más de treinta años tocando este tipo de jazz. El violinista Rob Thomas es profesor de violín e improvisación en la Berklee School of Music, además de un intérprete muy activo; el guitarrista Marc Daine toca, enseña y dirige talleres de jazz en Nueva York.
