Joe Summers Gypsy Jazz Trio

continued

Pulling this tight trio together is local favorite Dave Sharp, who bops it righteous on an enormous beauty of a German stand-up bass, and rhythm guitarist par excellence Chris Moyer, who maintains the groove with metric precision.

You simply cannot listen to the music they make together without smiling, bobbing your head in appreciation, or tapping your foot. This music redeems and imparts sheer joy. You can catch the Gypsies at the Old Town on Sunday, October 16, and at the Crazy Wisdom Tea Room on Saturday, October 29.
