Short notice, but another terrific opportunity for you New England area Gypsy afficiandos: Fri Apr. 28 2006, the Django/Gypsy Jazz Ensemble will be playing a free recital at 1 PM, David Friend Recital Hall, 921 Boyslton St. Boston MA.

JazzMando fave John McGann is leading this student ensemble and playing mandolin. The line-up includes 5 fine guitarists (one doubling on mando), clarinet, cello, and bass. (One of the guitarists sings as well.) The program includes some standards, Sweet Georgia Brown in 3 keys, What Is This Thing Called Love, as well as Django compositions like Belleville, Nuages and Mabel.

SGB in three keys, John? Wonder if they will have to pass out the capos for those Berklee kids...
