thanks for your suggestions of French gypsy jazz groups! May I add Samarabalouf (www.myspace.com/samarabalouf) , a French based jazz manouche trio which has been touring North America (from Anchorage/AK to New Orleans/LA via Seattle, Los Angeles, Montana, Utah, Chicago, Memphis, Dallas, New York, Toronto and New Brunswick) annually and since Spring 05! Inspired by Django Reinhardt, they perform original compositions combining flamenco rock, tango, rumba, waltz and swing to the delight of audiences and venues who keep bringing them back by popular demand! Save the dates: Samarabalouf on US/Canada West coast during April 7-17, 2010, from Vancouver to Los Angeles!
