Garrett's hot with cool new swing show.
Vocalist Lannie Garrett is setting Friday nights on fire at the Inn at Cherry Creek. I
caught the debut of her new act, Hot Paris Nights - with the Gypsy Swing Revue. It's a
sophisticated, grown-up night of music with a few laughs thrown in. Garrett has
grown up, and so have we. And her show is a reason to celebrate, Frenchy style…..
The band is the best combo Garrett has ever fronted. Think jazzy French café music in
the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli…..”

It don't mean a thing...
Picture Audrey Tautou in Amelie gliding down a rough cobblestone path in her perfect
French way on an old bicycle. Imagine soft, delightful and charming music
accompanying her wide smile. In essence, you've just listened to the Gypsy Swing
Revue. Head into Black Forest to dig some Euro-jazz and road-inspired sounds this
weekend. Close your eyes, and maybe you'll see Audrey.

Swallow Hill on the Seine! One cannot take lightly any attempt to play this
demanding, technically challenging style of music pioneered by the late guitar great
Django Reinhart. In other words, you best be good. Fortunately, this locally based
quartet has the panache and savoir-faire to pull it off avec beaucoup de style.
As with any self-respecting Gypsy swing outfit, the hot guitar licks and the soulful
fiddle are featured in this quartet and masterfully enhanced by a water tight rhythm
section of upright bass and rhythm guitar. Individually, the members of GSR were
accomplished musicians in their own right before joining the Revue. Together they
pay an homage to this musical style that would make the likes of Django and Grapelli
beam with pride. Yes, our Café is in Denver, but you will be excused for thinking you
are on a sidewalk in Paris, after Gypsy Swing Revue successfully transports you with
their wonderfully catchy brand of Gypsy jazz.
