The Texas Gypsies - Imagine this: you’re in a quaint Parisian
café listening to a delightful acoustic jazz combo. The air is filled with
songs, some familiar, some exotic and intriguing. You’re caught up in the music
as lightning-fast guitar runs dart in and out of beautiful violin melodies. The
rhythm guitarist is strumming his guitar with fiery abandon while the bassist
slaps a rhythm that your feet can’t resist. With your partner, you stand and
move to the dance floor.
Suddenly you stumble and trip over a Shiner beer bottle. As
if waking from a dream, you realize that this isn’t Paris, France—it’s Paris,
Texas! The jazz combo isn’t just playing the music of Django Reinhardt and
Stephane Grapelli, they’re also playing songs once made popular by Bob Wills and
His Texas Playboys. Is this some crazy dream, or perhaps some bizarre parallel
universe? Of course not. You’ve just entered the world of the Texas Gypsies.
The Texas Gypsies is a 4-piece acoustic combo that combines gypsy jazz with
western swing along with our own compositions. We feature two guitars, violin
and bass. Our music is at once earthy and sophisticated, appealing to a wide
audience. This isn’t music for jazz purists. This music makes you feel alive.
