Swing Gitan is a "gypsy jazz" group which is based in Chicago. (This style of music was created around 1934 with the name "Hot Club de France". Gypsy Jazz was associated with the guitarist, Django Reinhardt and the violinist Stephan Grapelli.) It was my good fortune to hear Swing Gitan at a free concert in Chicago last year. I loved their music so I bought their CD and I enjoy listening to all of the cuts on the CD.
My Tai Chi friends and I are planning to go to see Swing Gitan at a bar in Chicago in April.
This music is so "stylish", "jazzy" and "upbeat" -- it just makes you smile to hear it!
Here's a little sample.
