Title: Gypsophilia Location: The Marquee Club, Halifax Link out: Click here Date: 2008-11-28
Gypsophillia are among the best jazz bands in Halifax. They take their inspiration from legendary French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Their music is a combination of hot jazz and European gypsy music, adding their own modern edge and fusing elements of tango, klezmer, funk, and classical in their original music. So if you’re in the Halifax area, check out their live performance at The Marquee Club in Hells Kichen, Halifax, on November 28th.
Update! Gypsophilia’s playing a show at Lane’s in Liverpool, Nova Scotia on October 11th – be there or be… somewhere else! But if you’re not there, be sure to check out one of their other upcoming shows from the list here!
Gypsophilia was initially inspired by the music of French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, but soon found its own distinctive sound through unique original compositions and the melding of the band members’ varied backgrounds and influences, including tango, klezmer, funk, classical music, hard bop and post bop.
