The Urban Gypsies offer a beautiful mix of original fusion guitar compositions from the jazz tradition of improvisation and the rhythmic palette of gypsy, latin guitar and world music. The creative writing skills and innovative sounds of the Urban Gypsies set them in a class of their own; their music is distinctive, sophisticated and totally original. The members are Gavin Libotte (guitar), Dieter Kleemann (guitar), Anatoli Torjinski (cello) and Stuart Henderson (percussion).
