I happened to see a flyer of the jazz concert in the café I usually have coffee. The concert hall is close so I decided to go.
It is categorized as gypsy jazz, which I am unfamiliar with. But I was totally absorbed in music so I felt two hour concert went so fast. And it was really great!
The band consists of a violin, two guitars, and a contrabass. I expected the violin always to play the main melody, but in this gypsy jazz, the violin and the lead guitar played a main solo instrument alternately. The rhythm guitar reminded me of a flamenco guitar. Occasionally the music sounded melancholy but overall I felt warmth from the vibes of music.
I truly had a good day.
