I was moved by the performance of the gypsy jazz band when I happened to listen to them. The band consists of only strings: a violin, guitars, and a bass. A guitar and a violin are main solo instruments. If I did not know it was categorized as a jazz, I thought it was a flamenco-like Latin music. Soaking in this music makes me feel like wander lust, or traveling to “see the world”, as the lyrics of Lady Gaga’s “Gypsy” goes.
