Occidental Gypsy July 21, 2012

Occidental Gypsy is a quartet of musicians that has developed a unique genre probably best defined as "gypsy fusion." The improvisation and arrangement of their music harkens back to the spirit of the European purveyors of Gypsy Swing, yet they artfully utilize western (ie. Occidental) themes to produce a fresh, yet timeless sound. Their songs represent a revival of sorts, a reminicence for older listeners and an introduction to the "under 30" crowd of a foreign, yet familiar sound. Is it Jazz? Is it Folk? Is it Roots? No, it is Gypsy Fusion.
