Welcome to Shift, where Tom Allen takes you on a daily musical journey from the stalwarts of Classical music to the cutting edge of Contemporary tunes. Join us here on CBC music for a round-up of the stories of the day, some videos of music (or maybe just videos interesting to music fans) and a place to speak your voice.

Today on Shift you'll hear gypsy jazz from around the world. From a pair Norwegian folksters The Kings of Convenience
To full blown Django loving merchants of swing the International String Trio
To Quebec's very own trio of 80's loving gypsy jazzers The Lost Fingers
