"The cool dexterity of their playing binds together the broad catalog" Grayson Currin, music editor Indy Week, NC How does community, tradition, and identity play a role in the music you create? "Gypsy Jazz* is the folk music of the W. European Sinti tribe of the Gypsy people. It’s a relatively recent folk music that originated with Django Reinhardt in the 30’s, and was adopted by the Gypsy community and beyond, starting in the 70’s. We all grew up in NC, surrounded by our own rich Jazz tradition, which is our core identity as musicians. We also love to promote our adopted Gypsy Jazz tradition, as we’ve done for the past 15 years. We founded the Carrboro Django Reinhardt Festival which features top bands, as well as community-building jams and workshops, and we play out regularly. “Dark Eyes” is a staple in the Gypsy Jazz repertoire, and is in the public domain. https://imslp.org/wiki/The_Public_Dom...) The term Gypsy Jazz is used in the Gypsy community and beyond. (aka Jazz Manouche = France, Sinti Jazz = Holland). Eastern European Gypsies tend to prefer the term Roma, and do not traditionally play Gypsy Jazz."
