Cigano Swing hits the stage at Jazz at Ijams this Sunday at 4:55 PM!
I first crossed paths with these guys at Django in June—a weeklong Gypsy Jazz gathering that draws top musicians from around the globe. Their playing back then blew me away, and I’ve been hoping to share a stage with them ever since.
Now it’s happening. Cigano Swing brings that same fire and finesse to every performance, and we’re stoked to have them playing alongside Swingbooty this Sunday. Get ready for soaring solos, infectious rhythm, and serious swing. Don’t miss this set!

Jazz at Ijams is this Sunday at 5 PM –and we don’t just feed your soul—we feed your cravings too.

🌮 Birria Boss promises the best tacos you've ever tasted –and the beef rice bowl, and the wings will leave you in ecstasy. Check out the menu at https://thebirriaboss.com/menu

🌴 Island Vibe Grill is cooking up a Caribbean dream—jerk chicken, salmon, shrimp, and pasta with bold, scratch-made flavors. Don’t miss their icy blue Bahama lemonade—cooler than a Miles Davis solo.

🥧 Little Grey Cat Bakery delivers sweet harmony with pies, scones, and cookies that sing.

🍪 And if you haven’t tried a Knox Stroopwafel yet, prepare for a crispy, gooey masterpiece.

Come hungry. Leave inspired.

Get a side order of plantains! Then there's Poynor's Pomme Frites for some genuine German bratwurst. Then go back for some dank dessert at Anya's Gone Nuts. Check out their baklava!
