Gadjo Collective - Live and Exclusive




Daybreak Alberta from CBC Radio Calgary show

Summary: Edmonton violin player Cam Neufeld has been playing the music of the late great jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt for longer than he can remember. Cam has followed this musical passion with trips to Asia, also including stops in Paris, India, and Turkey. His search for the roots of Gypsy music also means heading up a group of musicians called The Gadjo Collective, a group he describes as a Balkan Dance Party band. Neufeld and his daughter, Billie Zizi, joined Russell Bowers at the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers to record a special set of performances, and to chat about the music. As of the Gadjo Collective performance, Cam and Billie played "Cold Like That," "After You're Gone," and "Naomi Campbell Comes To Town."
