Central Illinois now has an authentic Gypsy jazz band, John Miller and the Romaniacs. This is hot club jazz fashioned after Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France.
The Romaniacs’ repertoire includes classic Django tunes, modern Gypsy jazz and romantic French musettes. The fare includes some light humorous vocals, a la Freddie Taylor.
The band swings hard and creates lots of fun for the listeners as well as the performers.
Gypsy Jazz is happy romantic music with universal appeal. The Romaniacs’ performance guarantees good times and good feelings.
