Music in the Woods- Gypsy Jazz with Cirotti, Lister, Fischetti, and Alexander

Joe Cirotti and friends are back for an afternoon of Gypsy Jazz. Characterized by a swinging rhythm, improvisation, and virtuosity, originating with nomadic Gypsy guitarists in Western Europe in the 1920s, these fine musicians have brought a new appreciation for this remarkable genre. With Dani Fischetti on the violin and vocals, Pete Lister on bass and vocals, Mike Alexander on the Mando caster and vocals, and Joe Cirotti bringing the percussive strumming style called "la pompe" that emphasizes beats two and four and the fast-paced improvisations he is known for, we are in for a treat.
