Gypsy Moon Jazz – Smooth jazz with a spice of latin funk

Gypsy Moon

Gypsy Moon “Smooth Jazz with a Spice of Latin Funk” was formed in 2014 by Max De Vivo.
Max is a native of Naples Italy and his musical interest started at a very early age with his love for guitar. Max is a multi instrumentalist as he also plays drums, bass, piano and harmonica. In the early stages of the project a full band was formed however, later on with the passing of two of it’s members Max decided to keep the project as a solo performance.

Gypsy Moon is a blend of Smooth Jazz with a spice of Latin Funk that brings a very unique flavor to the music Max performs. His material is based on very well known Smooth Jazz artists such as Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Peter White, Marc Antoine, Craig Chaquico, George Benson, Steve Oliver, Santana, and many more, all done the Gypsy Moon way.

Max brings a full sound and a groove that will keep you off your seats. Gypsy Moon musical flavor has been described as a Smooth Jazz Latin Groove that transforms into a West Coast Funk experience – a must see and hear for the Smooth Jazz aficionado.
