Here is a clip of the amazing German Gypsy Wawau Adler. In addition to his mastery of the traditional Django based Gypsy style, Wawau has assimilated bebop style phrases and repertoire from the likes of Wes Montgomery and George Benson. His playing is particularly interesting in that he plays these modern ideas using what appears to be the traditional Gypsy Picking technique.

For more Wawau Adler check out his CD: Back to the Roots

The video archive is dedicated to Mary Honcoop. She generously shared her large collection of Gypsy videos with nearly anyone who asked. The video archive aims to continue her generosity now that she is gone.

Dudley Hill (1948-2005), guitarist and founding member of Pearl Django, lost his battle with cancer. Dudley had a long career playing bluegrass and swing music. He was particularly well known for his punchy chord melody style and his unwavering sense of swing. Incidentally, he also gave lessons to the great guitar and violin virtuoso Mark O’Conner. He was a man of few words, but his playing was always poignant and heart felt. His passing is a great loss to all of us.

Hand made in India. The best deal for a Gypsy jazz pick. Identical to the French Dugain design at a fraction of the price.
