Gypsy jazz is a beguiling, guitar-driven, pre-WW2 mix of classical Eastern European, Romani folk, French and improvisational sources. That may sound like an esoteric blend, but the sound is truly accessible and playful. Some listeners liken it to soundtrack music to Woody Allen movies.
Gypsy jazz is hard to find. When it is available, you should consume it ASAP! Which is why I am happy to say that Costa Mesa’s Boathouse Collective will host The Chamberlain Trio on Sept. 9. The show is FREE!
I stumbled upon Chamberlain Trio by accident at an arts event and was hooked. Unfortunately, this ensemble has no internet presence, so there is little I can tell you about them. I do have proof that they are fantastic: Listen to these music clips on SoundCloud.
The Boathouse Collective is an exciting story all on their own and the media has that covered here, here and here. Indeed, the stars are aligning with The Chamberlain Trio appearing at The Boathouse Collective.
