Gypsy Jazz

The Tonic (6 p.m.) mix tonight includes some great Canadian jazz from drummer Sandro Dominelli, pianist Oscar Peterson, saxophonist Yannick Rieu, the Joel Haynes Trio and the Dave Turner Latin Sextet.

Also, tunes from Feist, Leela James, pianist Monty Alexander and the Quincy Jones Big Band. Plus, a contemporary take on gypsy jazz from the father-and-son guitar duo of Romane and Richard Manetti. It's interesting how popular "gypsy jazz," (a la Django Reinhardt, sometimes called "jazz manouche,") continues to be, considering what a specific sound and era of jazz it was. One resource you might want to check out if you'd like to explore the music is called, succinctly enough, Gypsy Jazz. You may also want to listen to Homage to Stéphane Grappelli -- a Concert On Demand featuring violinist Gilles Apap.
