About
Gypsy Jazz Caravan is a New York City based acoustic ensemble that plays Hot Jazz inspired by the music of legendary French Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. Gypsy Jazz Caravan's extensive repertoire includes swing standards, ballads, bossa novas, tangos, waltzes and a growing number of original compositions. The lineup includes: NY veteran guitarist, Marc Daine, who has recorded for RCA records and toured with the Broadway show, “Big River”; virtuoso violinist, Rob Thomas, who JazzTimes calls "a violinist of exceptional creative resources... riveting as a solo voice with a rich complex tone that can sing or shriek"; bassist, Mike Weatherly, who has performed for President Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, and Pope John Paul II and top NY Gypsy Swing rhythm guitarist, Glenn Tosto.

Wedding Reception
in Philadelphia, PA
on 10/27/2012
"We hired Gypsy Jazz Caravan to play at our wedding ceremony and reception. They were absolutely fantastic, and provided the perfect atmosphere we were going for. They worked with us on our set list and learned two new pieces to perform for the ceremony's processional & recessional.
Our starting time was delayed due to outside circumstances, and they were very accommodating. Later during the reception, when it was almost time for them to leave, we & our guests were enjoying the music so much they agreed on the spot to extend their set by a half hour.
Gypsy Jazz Caravan are as talented as they are professional, and we can't wait for an excuse to hire them again."

Wedding

"These guys were phenomenal. They were fun, professional, extremely helpful and flexible and very good with communication. I wish I could afford to hire them to play every single dinner party or event I ever throw. They were fantastic. The only criticism we have would be for gigmasters, not The Gypsy Jazz Caravan. It wasn't abundantly clear to us at the time of signing on that the $100 fee to Gig Masters was separate and additional to the total cost of the band. Gigmasters should make that way more obvious up front so people take that into consideration for their budget. Once again, though, Gypsy Jazz Caravan was totally awesome!"

Private Party
in Westport, CT

"GJC was a terrific choice for us. Every one of our guests said the music was great and wanted to know where we found them. Their talent as musicians was evident from the moment they started playing and we felt they were more guests at our wedding than hired staff. We would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect music for their party."

Wedding Cocktail Hour
in New Rochelle, NY
on 06/11/2011
"GJCaravan played for our daughter's wedding reception for 180. The music was wonderful, just right for our outdoor wedding at our garden where a lot of family musicians (who really know good music) were in attendance.
They were all so professional, friendly, warm, and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them highly to anyone who wants an event filled with great music.
Thanks so much to all four of them for helping create our magical evening. Hooray!"

Wedding Cocktail Hour
in New York, NY
on 08/28/2010
"Gypsy Jazz Caravan played during the cocktail hour reception for my wedding and they were beyond amazing and accommodating. I asked if it was possible if a couple of members from the band would be able to escort my husband and I from the church to the reception venue (weather permitting) and they were more than happy to. It was the perfect segue from ceremony to party and they did such an amazing job walking and playing at the same time. Everyone loved it and thought it was such a special touch. On top of that, they played amazingly during our cocktail hour. If you want a classy and fun wedding (since string quartets can sound so stiff) I really recommend this band. "

"Gypsy Jazz Caravan truly transformed our backyard tulipfest into a day in the park with the most wonderful sounds. they were professional but not stiff. fantastic mood setting music and yet at the same time, riveting to watch as they skillfully play their respective instruments. As if you had stumbled into the most amazing band in a park and wanted to lay back on the grass and listen for hours. i would highly recommend them."
