Gypsy in KC

lindydanny

I love in KC and I'm having trouble finding true Gupsy Jazzers to play with and get guidance from. I'm a swing guitarist now, but I would love to get more into Gypsy Jazz and without a jam group or any to guide, it's difficult.

So, anyone know of a person or two here in KC?

Ben Wood is in St. Louis. I know it is not KC and it is at least 3 hours, but he can play.

Maybe talk to the people at Mass Street Music in Lawrence -- it's definitely a bluegrass-heavy scene, but they might know some local gypsy-jazzers.

There is an accordionist that has posted on the forum before, who is based in KC. If I can dig up his name I'll post it.

And yes, we have a jam here in St. Louis, the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. Ben Wood is a regular, as well as 4 or 5 others. We're over 3 hours away, but we can certainly help put you up for the night and show you a great time!

Lindy, If you get us a gig or two in KC, We can work it out. My band FRanglais is based in ST Louis. I'd be happy to hang, and if you are passing through town- hit me up!
The jam here is very welcoming as well! Bopster does a great job hosting it.
