playing loud in jam sessions
Hi folks, I played in a jam session in Inverness at the weekend. Very enjoyable, and the weather was good enough to sit outside. I find myself absolutely hammering the notes out though, in an attempt to be heard when soloing. Not that the rhythm section was too loud, but perhaps sitting outside, the sound just disappeared.… -
Django In June 2025
It was great seeing people last week. I was playing the basement on Saturday night with Buco and a bunch of other people and just thinking to myself, this is a really nice group of people. It's a bit odd to have friends you only see once a year but I think it's my 7th year running and now I know some people pretty well.… -
Donna Lee
One of my favorite tunes, how could it not be! I remember first hearing it in the 70s at a local jazz club in Northern England being attempted and then played, (after 3 false starts), in unison by 3 saxophones!!! I then discovered an incredible version featuring pianist Kenny Drew, Svend Asmussen(violin) and ace double… -

Expanding GJ Repertoire: Big Bertha (Duke Pearson)
Hey folks, sorry for sharing all the videos we’re making, but I can’t think of a better place to do it. We’re still trying to build up a repertoire of standards from after Django’s death. This time we’ve chosen Duke Pearson, a pianist, composer, and Blue Note producer from the Hard Bop era. We hope you like it and that… -
A ton of Argie 11's to offer--these are gone
Here's a weird offer: does anyone want 35 Argie 11's? I've mentioned here before that I like a thicker high E string so I put the 11 aside and put on a 13 whenever I change my strings. Anyway, I've accrued a whopping thirty five 11's and I'm tired of looking at them. If anyone wants them, they can just reimburse me for the…
