Billet-Deux, the northwest modern gypsy jazz quintet, is proud to announce the release of their second CD - Deux".
The CD features the unique sound of the group which consists of acoustic solo guitarist Troy Chapman, cellist James Hinkley, bassist Michael Yocco, rhythm guitarist Josephina Hunner and drummer/percussionist Roger Bennett.
