Aurora Nealand from New Orleans. This vid is her with the late Vavavoom, a New Orleans jazz band with strong Django influences. I saw her 3-4 years ago with Vavavoom at the Spotted Cat one night and then with the New Orleans Jazz Vipers there the next night. She was GREAT!
BTW, I'm not sure there really is a GJ horn style, either in Django's day or today. I think the players are all first and foremost swing players and as such fit right in with gypsy swing.
I had the pleasure to see Anat play in New York (The Village Vanguard) back when I lived
in New Jersey. My wife and I have been hooked on her music ever since, although
her music is stepped more in traditional jazz and bop (with a Klezmer influence) than Gypsy
Jazz. She is a brilliant clarinetist and saxophonist to be sure.
Very nice Tubby, thanks for posting. Always nice to see some women playing GJ. The only female rhythm player I was very familiar with was Caroline Senoble. She plays some with Serge Kreif. Here is a link to one of the videos with her from youtube.
Thanks KarenAnn, Wonderful to see Caroline Senoble playing with Serge Krief.
It sure would be fun to know how many other female Gypsy Jazz players there are out there in the world! Tubby

Hi KarenAnn, I play rhythm for my husband Norm. Here's a short clip of us, sorry the picture quality isn't great, it was pretty dark there. Tubby
