The Vignatis have done it again! As the creators of their signature Gypsybilly genre, they have put their musical stamp on this internationally iconic cover by the unprecedented, John Lennon.
Soon to embark on a premier tour in Japan, this is the only single released from their upcoming album on September 12, 2024, entitled “50/50 Part 2: Gypsybilly Vol. 7”. Their arrangement of “Imagine” encompasses all elements of their genre creation from the reminiscent sound of the 12/8 1950s ballad while carefully infusing the Gypsy Jazz manouche sound accompanied by the American Jazz influence of the emotive, supporting clarinet lines, and ethereal piano phrases . The lead vocals create a sweet and imaginative story with backing vocals that augment the chorus painting an aural picture so vividly. We hope John Lennon is smiling down upon this unique arrangement with pride.
