He’s kindly invited Larry to appear for a session of live performance and discussion of the genre of “gypsy jazz” at the station at 3 pm July 13th. Please tune in! With WPKN’s newly increased broadcast range, the station can now be heard all over Long Island, Cape Cod, and Rhode Island.

Fairfield’s answer to DJANGO REINHARDT, Café Musette, has just added Monday nights to their weekly residency at Luc’s Café in Ridgefield, in addition to their established Wednesday nights. Now, on this most dreaded of weekdays, patrons can unwind after a harsh day of work with some French gypsy swing, a genre that exudes relaxation. Get ready to do it like the Europeans do, care of Café Musette guitarist Larry Urbon and his band

Fairfield County Weekly, December 23 2004 Issue: “How Walmart Cleans Up” cover. Weekly Article: “7 Days: The Week That Is” featuring:

Every Wednesday night from 7:30-9:30 p.m., Café Musette, featuring guitarist Larry Urbon, brings a taste of French and Gypsy swing to Luc’s Café in Ridgefield, a welcome source of inner warmth during these harsh winter months. Urbon plays many of the the most popular standards from the Jazz Manouche genre made famous by DJANGO REINHARDT, characterized by guitar-driven rhythm and a light, fast feel, but he also delves into traditional “café music”, that is, unaccompanied, finger-picked guitar pieces.
