Bassist, composer and arranger Olivier Holland has again joined forces with Joscho Stephan to produce an album that pushes stylistic boundaries. Gypsy meets Groove skilfully combines Gypsy Jazz with elements from groove-based music such as Funk, Soul or Reggae. Here is more than just playing jazz tunes with a different feel. On GMG, modern arranging techniques have been skilfully employed to blend different musical elements into an innovative work-of art. Gypsy meets Groove marks a mile-stone with regard to stylistic development. A ‘must’ for both Gypsy Jazz- and more groove-hungry listeners.
