about
“The creative transposing of the world into notes” is the decisive element in the music of the Sinti and Roma Gypsies. Violinist, Guitarist and Singer Martin Weiss has taken the responsibility to modernize the playing style of Sinti-Jazz. In his quartett own compositions influenced by Latin American rhythms and Spanish Gitano music are combined with another to an original in its entirety. Therefore its important for Martin Weiss to convert the principle “less is more”. In the Martin Weiss Quartett you hear world music in the best meaning of the word. Martin Weiss is a big fan of the famous „Crooners of Swing“ like Frank Sinatra, Joe Williams and others, who performed together with the great big bands from Count Basie, Nelson Riddle or Duke Ellington and created unmistakable sounds, formed out of ease and precision. The arrangements are tuned to Martin Weiss and his violin and on a few classics he also grabs the microphone and pays homage to his idols. The project MARTIN WEISS GYPSY CELEBRATION is a must for all festivals in this world.” (C) (from : qblog.nov.ru) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
