Chicago Gypsy Jazz Festival - Tuesday

The Chicago Gypsy Jazz Festival on Tuesday brings together a selection of Chicago's gypsy jazz musicians for a night focused on the acoustic swing sound pioneered by Django Reinhardt. Expect intricate guitar work and rhythmic interplay, with various local groups performing sets throughout the evening. This event offers a chance to hear several takes on the genre in one sitting. This Tuesday night at Evanston SPACE in Evanston, IL, the intimate setting of the venue is well-suited for the nuanced dynamics of gypsy jazz. It's a good evening for those who appreciate instrumental virtuosity and the lively, often improvisational nature of acoustic jazz and swing.
