DESCRIPTION: Come out every Sunday between 8pm-11pm to listen to Fumée gy
 psy jazz. ABOUT Bandleader and vocalist Christy Bennett began performing s
 traight-ahead jazz in 2006. Classically trained\, with a degree in Vocal P
 erformance from DePaul University\, she had also been drawn to jazz throug
 h elective classes and combos. In 2010\, Bennet reconnected with a high sc
 hool friend who introduced her to the 1930’s and 40’s music of Django 
 Reinhardt and The Hot Club of France and ignited her love of gypsy jazz. A
 nother high school friend\, in 2012\, asked Bennett to sing two songs at h
 er wedding with an instrumental gypsy jazz duo\, that immediately inspired
  Bennett to form her own gypsy jazz band—Fumée—based on this European
  style. Her quest for this rare repertoire led Bennett to antique stores a
 nd European Internet auction sites\, collecting sheet music by Django Rein
 hardt and his contemporaries that had been almost lost in time. Bennett th
 en gathered a diverse and talented group of Chicago musicians. Performing 
 the compositions of the master who invented the genre brought a new unders
 tanding of their music\, energizing both the musicians’ and audience’s
  appreciation. Fumée creates a suave fusion of European and American jazz
  traditions that is elegant and upbeat\, sensitive and lyrical. The band p
 erforms with a traditional drum-less ensemble utilizing string instruments
  as the rhythm section (Don Stiernberg\, mandolin). Add to that\, the char
 m and European flair of the accordion (Don Stille)\, the tone and energy o
 f the trumpet (Art Davis)\, and the emotion and lyricism of the voice (Chr
 isty Bennett) and you have their modern interpretation that preserves the 
 tradition.
