I was first introduced to gypsy jazz music when my brother gave me a DVD documentary on the gypsy jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. When I moved to Madison, I found some folks who were fellow gypsy jazz enthusiasts and jammed in various places around town. I met Phil Schwinn, an amazing mandolin player, at one of these jam sessions and am happy to see that his band, 4th Street Elevator, has gained quite a following in Milwaukee and Madison!
I introduced Mike to gypsy jazz as performed by 4th Street Elevator the evening when we decided to see each other exclusively! We are extremely happy to share the music played by the band that set the tone of our relationship from the very start!
Phil says that the band will welcome wedding guests to jam with them after dinner! Since we have a very musical set of guests, we encourage all of our musically inclined guests to bring instrument(s) and play with this talented band!
Please check out the playlist if you're interested in jamming!
