"A Night of Gyspy Jazz" featuring Swing 440 & Bay Swing

Swing 440 brings the spirited tradition of Gypsy jazz to life, drawing inspiration from the legendary Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their vibrant sound—rooted in the swing era of the 1930s and '40s—is infused with a contemporary flair that’s sure to get toes tapping and audiences dancing. Led by violinist and arranger Tomoko Iwamoto, a Berklee College of Music graduate in Jazz Composition, Swing 440 offers fresh takes on classic Gypsy jazz tunes, adding inventive twists that keep the tradition both alive and evolving.

Bay Swing, a well-established Gypsy jazz band based in Rhode Island, delivers performances that revive the classic sounds of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, combining hot club jazz style with the elegance of traditional jazz.
