This music is called gypsy jazz and is inspired by Django Reinhardt and his hot club of france. It combines American jazz with the exotic Gypsy sound to create joyous, passionate music.
The musicians of Gypsy Swing Revue and Lannie began a musical partnership in 2004. “I have always adored this kind of music, but never found musicians that could play this difficult and very specialized style. Then I met elliot reed. This collaboration has been no less than joyous to me, “ says Lannie.
Lannie Garrett and Gypsy Swing Revue present Acoustic Swing in the style of Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli’s Hot Club of Paris. Great dance music! Joyous, uplifting, nostalgic fun! Visually pleasing in classy clothes from the 1940’s and stage presence that lights up a room!
Great in a concert setting or as a swing dance party. Violin, Stand up bass, rhythm guitar and virtuoso guitarist, Elliott Reed.
Tunes include: “La Vie en Rose”, “Moonglow”, “Bie Mir Bist Du Schoen”, “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea”, “Bye Bye Blues”, “Cuban Pete”, “Plenty of Money and You” and many more.
“…sassy and amazingly good. These are musician’s musicians and sure to please.”
