Gypsies, or more correctly, the Romany or Roma people, have always been nomadic, so it is no surprise that their music has been influenced at various times by Arabic, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Persian, Romanian, Serbian, Slavic, Spanish and Turkish musical idioms. Gypsy jazz has that rare quality of evoking a time and a place. So if you want to be transported back to the Paris of sixty years ago, then bon appétit.
18 Nuits d'Italie - Sarane Ferret & Le Quintette De Paris
