Gypsy Jazz Social Club is pleased to play the opening set on the first night of Leftover Salmon’s 30th anniversary tour during their Crested Butte, Colorado shows. Showtime 8 pm at the new Crested Butte Center for Arts on Friday, December 27th. Configuration of the band and instrumentation for this show will be Les Choy “El Chino” - vocal, rhythm and lead acoustic guitar, Erin Geye- alto sax, Laine Ludwig- congas, bongó and percussion, Jon Hickam on accordion, and Kevin Donovan on upright bass. Mysterious... yet strangely familiar, the Gypsy Jazz Social Club musical journey embraces the acoustic swing sound pioneered in the 1930s and 1940s by Django Reinhardt and others and is today enjoying a resurgence in popularity among musicians and jazz aficionados alike. Gypsy Jazz Social Club is a consortium of versatile musicians scattered throughout western Colorado and elsewhere commonly inspired by the style of acoustic string-band jazz known as "Le jazz hot". GJSC showcases material dating from the early 1900s to present day, sourcing traditional and modern repertoire, all "gypsified" for your enjoyment. The GJSC performance includes vocalized and instrumental arrangements of jazz and swing standards, latin rhythms, and original material, as well as contemporary and traditional gypsy tunes.
