Whatever Lola Wants - Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet - ジプシージャズ

MARCIA BAMBERG SWING QUARTET - album 'Smile' -
Accompanied by John Ligthart and Ronald Weel on guitar and Daniël Gueli on double bass, Marcia Bamberg sings the most beautiful French and English Gipsy Jazz songs with great passion.
The "Gipsy" or "Manouche" Jazz originated in the 1930s within the Roma-gypsy communities in Paris. This strongly rhythmic music is a mixture of French Musette, Jazz and Swing music from America and Gypsy music. It is the first jazz style that originated in Europe.
The founder of this style is the Belgian-born Sinti guitarist Django Reinhardt who formed the ensemble "Quintette du Hot Club de France" together with violinist Stéphane Grappelli. In this ensemble, the line-up was very characteristic of this style of music: they were all stringed instruments. Django Reinhardt and his musicians played many instrumental versions of songs that originally had lyrics.
With the album 'Smile' the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet pays tribute to Django Reinhardt and the Gipsy Jazz. On this album Marcia has brought back the vocals to the songs to make Gipsy Jazz music more accessible to a larger and perhaps 'new' audience, which is more enamored of music with vocals and in this way can get to know and appreciate this beautiful traditional music style.
Let the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet take you to a sunny terrace in beautiful Paris with this swinging music, which provides cheerfulness, romance and invites you to dance!
