The name of a Dutch gypsy jazz guitar trio and the name of the tribe from which the musicians come. It's led by 16 year-old phenomenon Jimmy Rosenberg. The group is following in the footsteps of the legendary Belgian guitarist Django Reinhardt... and carrying on a gypsy tradition that encourages youngsters to pick up musical instruments as soon as they can walk. Dean Olsher reports. The trio's new CD is called "Sinti." It's on Columbia Records.
