 Likewise, a number of today's "gypsy jazz" exponents are non-gypsies, in addition to the more well known gypsy players.Thus, the term has become attached to the style of playing rather than strictly reflecting the ethnic affiliation of the players.Django himself would not have known the term "gypsy jazz" in any case; for him he was simply playing jazz, and the Quintette was simply a popular jazz (or dance band) outfit of the day, albeit with the virtuoso soloing of its lead instrumentalists (on guitar and violin) taken to a new level.
