Shadows and Light

From the first time we saw Gypsophilia at a Deep Roots performance a couple of years ago, we couldn’t wait to see them again. Seeing them on a cool March night in the intimate ambiance of the Evergreen seemed to bring hot summer nights that much closer. Their music, originally inspired by the legendary French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, combines hot jazz and European gypsy music, with elements of tango, klezmer, funk and classical. The group’s joyous exhuberance was contagious and feet and hands in the audience were tapping spontaneously through the performance.

The opening act was jazz stylist keyboard player, Erin Costelo, whom we had not had the pleasure to see before.

Thanks for a great evening. It was well worth the wait.
