 Stringzville is a jazz quartet (plus) that performs jazz standards with a bit of Gypsy Jazz and Bossa Nova thrown in to spice things up.

Acoustic string jazz greats Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and Henry "Homer" Haynes and Kenneth "Jethro" Burns -- not to mention the unsung bassists and rhythm guitarists who helped these jazz greats to really swing – are but a few who serve as Stringzville's musical inspiration.
