??Gypsy Jazz in NYC??

WowBobWow

Greetings New Yorkers ~

Are there any gypsy jazz gigs to see from 12/26 to 12/31? If so, please post them here.

I will be in New York for the first time ever (whoo hoo!) and would be interested to fit some g-jazz into the mapped out tourist schedule, so any information is appreciated.

Also, any top ten lists on things to do when in the city is also great as I am going by our Lonely Planet tourbook and a few friend recommendations. (We are going to be 4 blocks off central park on the west side)

Thanks!

Our best guy in town, Stephane Wrembel is playing with his trio at Barbes in Brooklyn on 12/30. Check out his site for more info www.stephanewrembel.com

Also, since you're looking for other stuff to see/do, don't miss Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz club on new year's eve. I just saw him there last night, still amazing at 92! I was talking to him about Django, who he'd met and played with in '46. The man is truly a living legend.

This is the best town for live jazz. Hope you have a great trip!

Hey Y'all,

As far as the NYC scene, Joel Beaver has some steady gigs in and around town, [I don't have the info.], maybe he'll check in.
Ben Wood and Alex Simon might have some steady gigs too.
Cheers,
Barry
