Gypsy Dynamite coming to Lancaster Jazz Scene

 

 

Gypsy Dynamite 1 5 t h A n n i v e r s a r y · 2 0 1 1 – 2 0 2 6

Gypsy Dynamite is an acoustic guitar duo rooted in the tradition of Django Reinhardt, fusing the fire of Gypsy Swing with influences drawn from Italian jazz, classical music, and rock. The project began in 2011 when two guitarists crossed paths at a pub in West London and recognised, in an instant, that something uncommon was there. Over the fifteen years that followed, the duo built a reputation on stages across Europe and beyond, drawing in audiences who had never encountered anything quite like it: music that is simultaneously virtuosic and visceral,deeply rooted yet entirely original.

The live show has always been the heart of it — raw, spontaneous, and built on real interaction between two musicians who know each other's playing intuitively. For the 15th anniversary, Gypsy Dynamite returned to the studio — just the two of them, the guitars, and the music they have devoted themselves to for a decade and a half. The result is a brand-new show premiering in the UK this October: a celebration of fifteen years of partnership, perseverance, and music that continues to surprise even its creators.

Lancaster Jazz Jam Friday 31st July

 

The Jazz Jam is part of Lancaster Jazz Scene. The next Jam takes place on Friday 31st July from 19:30 at the Printroom Cafe Bar located in the historic Storey Building on Meeting House Lane near Lancaster Castle.

Here's more info;

Lancaster Jazz Jam was established in 2017, emerging out of the Orbit Jazz Workshop at Lancaster Community Music Centre. Our aim is to present an inclusive jam session that allows players of all abilities to have an opportunity to play, gain confidence, learn about jazz music, develop performance skills and hear other musicians. At the jam we have a selection of tunes/standards to play and there is music available for C, Bb, Eb and Bass. You can choose which tunes you wish to play on and sign up to be part of the band when those tunes are called. The emphasis is on having fun, supporting each other and enjoying the music. The event is free and non-players are very welcome to come along too.
