Cigano Swing hits the stage at Jazz at Ijams this Sunday at 4:55 PM!
I first crossed paths with these guys at Django in June—a weeklong Gypsy Jazz gathering that draws top musicians from around the globe. Their playing back then blew me away, and I’ve been hoping to share a stage with them ever since.
