	North Coast Journal - August 26, 2004: PREVIEW - Celebrating Bird: Gypsy-style
		Gypsy jazz is a media term used to loosely describe jazz played on specially constructed acoustic guitars, "Gypsy guitars," and made popular by the legendary Belgian Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt.

	Kalman Balogh and the Gypsy Cimbalom Band, Gypsy Jazz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As played by this fine ensemble, gypsy jazz is an high-spirited, infectious conglomeration of swing, klezmer and assorted Eastern European traditional musics with ample room for jazzy soloing and even the odd scat here and there.
		Opening with "Gypsy Colors," which moves smoothly from style to style (almost a sampler of various Eastern European) while giving each of the members of the band to solo, Gypsy Jazz showcases a wide array of musical styles.
		Continuing a tradition which began way back in the Twenties when jazz first arrived in Eastern Europe and which was further developed by such luminaries as Django Reinhardt and Stefan Grappelli, Balogh and his band have crafted an imaginative, entertaining, slightly mysterious body of work with this delightful CD.
