Gryphon Gazet – Spring 2004 – by Richard Johnston<\/b>
\n
Pearl Django Play-Along Songbook, Vol. 1<\/a><\/i>, by Greg Ruby. Spiral bound, includes CD, $38. It’s no secret that the key to playing gypsy jazz solos, as with most instrumental music, lies in having a solid rhythm section that doesn’t mind playing the same chord changes over and over again. Here you get instruction, transcriptions of solos (both standard and tab), and complete chord charts for 17 Django, or Django-style, songs<\/a>, plus the advantage of being able to practice those great melodies with one of North America’s best gypsy jazz bands playing back-up. Now you’ll be able to take your turn the next time a jam session digs deep into Djangology<\/a><\/i>, Limehouse Blues<\/i>, Nuages<\/i>, or Swing 42<\/i>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gryphon Gazet – Spring 2004 – by Richard Johnston Pearl Django Play-Along Songbook, Vol. 1, by Greg Ruby.
