about

Spirits of Rhythm is an exploration of artists who inspire us.

Jazz is alive today. Not as a museum piece to be preserved, but as a living art form, to be explored and experienced. Few jazz musicians have had such a strong individual voice as Django Reinhardt, or such a unique influence on later musicians. He gave birth to the entire sub-genre of gypsy jazz, which still thrives. From the “chunk chunk chunk” of the rhythm guitar to the uniquely French melodies, it is a sound that stands out and, by definition, crosses boundaries.

Now, we tend to groove a little more like American musicians (which we are)- less of a straight, European march vibe and more of a laid back blues feel, a la Freddie Green. Or maybe somewhere in the middle- you decide. But that gypsy sound draws us in, swirls us around and leaves us completely transformed.

“They say I'd have been great whatever instrument I chose, but on guitar, nobody can touch me. Except, this gypsy in France…” -Emmet Ray, Sweet and Lowdown
