The Romaniacs Bring Gypsy Jazz To The PSO

The Romaniacs

On this week’s episode of Out and About, Jenn Gordon talks with Maestro George Stelluto and John Miller, the lead guitarist of The Romaniacs,  about the Peoria Symphony Orchestra’s annual Romance concert airing Saturday, February 13 on WTVP World 47.3. You’ll hear about the influence of Roma culture and Gypsy Jazz music on the Paris Jazz scene in the 1930s, and how Django Reinhardt’s musical stylings continue to influence musicians and musical genres around the world.
