Moustache Yourself is an gypsy quartet based in Akron, Ohio. Gypsy jazz, also known as gypsy swing, hot club jazz, or by the French name, “jazz manouche” is a style of jazz music made famous by guitarist Django Reinhardt in the 1930s. Its infectious rhythm and exotic but familiar melodies will capture your soul and transport you to a different time and place!
 

 

“Took the Mrs to The Bop Stop to check out Moustache Yourself. They are sounding terrific and bringing “a viewpoint” to an approach to jazz that has been around for quite a while. It will be around quite a while longer if excellent musicians like this continue to allow themselves to be influenced by beauty, a classy groove and the true spirit of the music…play on gentlemen…!”
– Ernie Krivda
