Abstract:
Gypsy meets Groove skilfully combines Gypsy Jazz with elements from groove-based music such as Funk, Soul or Reggae. Here is more than just playing jazz tunes with a different feel. On GMG, modern arranging techniques have been skilfully employed to blend different musical elements into an innovative work-of art. Yet, the traditional sound of Gypsy Jazz is retained through using only acoustic instruments, with Thomas Kukkulies’ on percussion who skilfully supports with gentle thrust. Gypsy meets Groove marks a mile-stone with regard to stylistic development of a traditional music genre.
