Gypsy jazz, a swinging confluence of flamenco, Parisian street songs and eastern European folk melodies, was invented by genius guitarist Django Reinhardt in the 1930s, but it remains influential today. Fronted by guitarist Michael Joseph Harris, Baltimore’s Ultrafaux keeps Django’s legacy alive and expands on it with a repertoire of all-original compositions. The acoustic power trio brings the insouciant swing of Gypsy jazz to tunes that encompass everything from hard bop and folk to funk and blues.
