After doing some research, here is what I can tell you about Gypsophilia. They are a seven-piece band from Nova Scotia whose sound is a mix of gypsy jazz and traditional Jewish folk music, with a little bit of classical and indie thrown into the mix. They have been a fixture at jazz festivals across Canada, including the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, since their debut album was released in 2007. I was a little disappointed when I first played the CD; I found the first track to be too slow-paced for my liking, but I cleared that hurdle, I found myself enjoying the rest of the album\u2019s more upbeat sound. Tracks like the aptly titled \u201cJewish Dance Party!\u201d will make you want to clap your hands and find the nearest person or chair to dance with, while other tracks like \u201cA Oha\u201d let you sit back and admire the sounds that these musicians create. The best jazz albums should give you a taste of what the band is capable of live, since jazz is always best when it is improvised live. If you are looking for a unique jazz record, <em>Sa-Ba-Da-Ow!<\/em> should satisfy your cravings until the band returns to the jazz festival in your city.\u00a0 (Independent, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gypsophilia.org\">www.gypsophilia.org<\/a>) <strong>Charles Lefebvre<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will fully admit that the name of the band was the reason I chose to review this CD.
