UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Harmonious Wail: Gypsy Swing

Gypsy Swing is the only jazz style coined outside the USA. It is a synonym for European jazz. Hailing from America’s Midwestern prairies, Harmonious Wail brings a passion for all things that swing to “Gypsy Swing,” their latest release on Naxos World. Blending the instrumental firepower of Gypsy jazz guitar, Jethro Burns-inspired jazz mandolin and sultry jazz vocals that hark back to the time when Swing was King, the band establishes itself here as a thoughtful innovator of recreating the potency and vigor of Django Reinhardt’s classic sound while carving out a unique niche that appeals to swing fans of all styles.
