About gypsophilia
Halifax-based Gypsophilia is a group of seven performers whose original instrumental music blurs the lines between hot jazz, klezmer, funk, and world rhythms. In recent years Gypsophilia has become a tireless touring outfit, regularly crisscrossing the continent and playing to sold-out crowds all over Canada and the US. Their killer live shows and danceable, genre-bending sound have made them an audience favourite at major festivals and small clubs alike. With a combination of serious musicianship, humour and showmanship they are capable of enchanting a sit-down crowd one moment, and whipping people into a dancing, clapping, singing frenzy the next. 2015 sees the release of their fourth full-length album, Night Swimming. Joel Plaskett’s Dartmouth, NS studio The New Scotland Yard provided the setting, and Toronto-based producer Joshua Van Tassel (David Myles, Great Lake Swimmers, Amelia Curran) provided the direction, departing from the purely live approach of their previous discs in pursuit of a fresh verve and polish for their original music. The result is a hauntingly beautiful 9-song masterpiece that showcases a darker, cinematic side of Gypsophilia alongside their signature ebullient swinging sound. The four-time ECMA winning band features Gina Burgess on violin; Nick Wilkinson on guitar; Sageev Oore on piano, accordion and keys; Alec Frith and Ross Burns on guitar and percussion; Matt Myer on trumpet and organ; Adam Fine on double bass. Members of Gypsophilia have performed with the likes of Symphony Nova Scotia, Kanye West and more. This seven-piece instrumental band mixes hot jazz with klezmer, funk, and world rhythms into their sparklingly original music.
