The "Gypsy jazz" - also known as Gypsy swing - is an expression that is often said to be born with the guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt in the 30's. Because its origin is, to a large extent French, it is often referred to as "Gypsy Jazz" or "Manouche Jazz" even in English texts. Between 1930 and 1950, Django was at the head of a group of gypsy guitarists working in Paris and around.

First Ever CD Reissue! Successfully blending melodic West Coast pop, latin rhythmic grooves, and progressive rock, Gypsy is a true hidden gem. Recalling groups like Spirit, ELO, Santana and the cosmic vocal harmonies of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Gypsy’s music takes listeners soaring through the clouds! Metromedia issued their self-titled album in 1970, but it flew under the radar. “Gypsy Queen Part 1” peaked at #64 on the national charts and “Dead and Gone” got some airplay, but the rest of the album faded into obscurity. Combining the strong songwriting capabilities of Enrico Rosenbaum and James Johnson with the undeniably strong fusion of surging Hammond organ, bongos, and bass make Gypsy sound just as fresh and inventive as it was in 1970. Rich with progressive chord structures and intricate melodies, Gypsy’s uniquely blends latin, psychedelia, and jazz into one satisfying package!
