Synopsis

Album Description

This debut c.d. from one of Nashville's most acclaimed bands- The Gypsy Hombres, is in the "hot" string style of Django Reinhardt, but with a modern twist. Besides four original compositions, Cafe Strut features two classical favorites from Brahms and Chopin, a Brazilian folk tune, a blistering version of the Gershwin classic "I've Got Rhythm", Django's "Manoir" and a Rolling Stones song, all swinging in the Hombre's gypsy style.

CD Reviews

Hombres RULE!!!

Heather Hyrka | Nashville, TN United States | 01/08/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have been a fan of the Hombres for about five years. This CD was well worth the wait. I can bet that once you hear this group swing tunes like "Mutha's Helper" you will be hooked. It captures their gypsy spirit perfectly. Find out where they are playing live and run, don't walk to see them!! The Gypsy Hombres take swing and jazz music to a whole new level. "Cafe Strut" is only the beginning of what these guys can do!!"

A great debut album

"The Gypsy Hombres have been playing in the Nashville area for the last couple of years and I have become a great fan. Their music is derivative of Django Rienhardt/Stephane Grapelli but they add fresh, orginal sounds. The tracks on this CD include arrangements of standards (Gershwin's "I've Got Rhythm"), classical (Chopin), rock (Mutha's Helper) and original songs by the Hombres. Try it, you won't be disappointed!"
