In 2016 they were announced by Raoul Casadei as winners of the ROMAGNA MIA 2.0 contest.
The band members met by coincidence, but maybe it was meant to be, like all things seem born from nothing but then explode into something special; the desire to look beyond the Adriatic but with our feet on this side, it had been hovering in all of us for some time.
Then the band recurring meetings brought novelties, the novelties brought the desire to share different sounds and the different sounds combination led the band to amalgamante every aspect together.
The Gypsy Jazz Orchestra will bring a quirky and unique element to every event making it a little extra special. This is like nothing you have ever seen before!
"After an evening of music at our wedding I can already call them friends! Professional, nice, helpful, good and a beautiful positive energy. Happy to have chosen them, they made our day as we wanted it with their elegant but also gypsy atmospheres, a refined musical journey. We will never stop thanking them! And so much desire to see you soon! Call them and you won't regret it!!"
"Beautiful journey through the gypsy sounds of Eastern Europe passing through the Balkans going up to Bulgarian, Romanian, Armenian countries and so on and so forth combined with the great klezmer - Jewish traditions. Great emotions from all nine components and from each instrument played!! Big orchestra, for a magical evening!! AJDE!!!"
"An overwhelming cascade of notes led me to travel through time and space for three hours. The energy that this fantastic group transmits is admirable. The intensity and modulation of sounds and voice instil curiosity and a sense of belonging to multifarious musical traditions and cultures that express shared feelings at the same time."
