New Release of Gypsy Jazz Recording for Large Ensemble

NKnirk

I’m excited to finally release the first movement of Gypsy Spirit Suite — my large-ensemble gypsy jazz project and the culmination of my master’s thesis in music composition.

Rooted in the Django Reinhardt tradition, the suite explores how contemporary jazz manouche can grow beyond the traditional quintet format through orchestration, expanded harmonic language, and influences from other styles of jazz and contemporary music.

Please enjoy the music as it’s released in its entirety over the coming weeks. The music will be available on my website and across all streaming platforms. Here’s a link to the first movement, "Soulful Eyes." https://nickknirkmusic.com/single/185599/soulful-eyes
