Guitarists Alex Ciavarelli and Rudy Marquez met as undergraduates in the Bachelor of Music: Jazz Studies program at San Diego State University. Combining traditional gypsy jazz with elements of modern jazz, they harmonically keep one foot in the past and one in the present.
With influences such as Bireli Lagrene, Andreas Oberg, Stochelo Rosenberg, and of course Django Reinhardt, this contemporary take on Gypsy Jazz has engaged audiences from DjangoVegas to the San Diego Gypsy Jazz Festival.
