One Leg Up - One
Leg Up plays gypsy jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane
Grappelli. The Parisian style of jazz is an upbeat acoustic swing with a
repertoire of 1920's, 30's, and 40's jazz standards, originals, modern jazz
tunes, and of course, music from the book of the virtuoso guitarist Django
Reinhardt. This style of jazz is popular in clubs and festivals throughout
Europe, yet it is underrepresented in America. One Leg Up is one of the few
bands that plays this music in the southeast. Their show is lively, intimate,
danceable, and brings about the atmosphere of French cafe music before World
War II.
