Django In The Bay festival UK
Back from my first Django festival since Samois 2004 (far too long!!). What an amazing experience. Six very high quality concerts over three days, jam sessions all over the place and a wonderful atmosphere. I met people I'd heard about but never had the pleasure. I got to jam with Adrien Marco!!

Camping in Samoreau for the Django Festival
Hi everyone, I’m able to tack onto a work trip and attend the festival in Fontainebleau for the first time. I had booked an Airbnb in Fontainebleau and they just cancelled on me.

Just heard Duved Dunayevski for the first time and holy hell, he sounds so like Django
His playing aside, which is amazing, his recordings just sounded so like Django but in a higher fidelity to me. His tone is just there. I've always thought that Django's tone is quite a bit more metalic than most of the modern players, but then I attribute that to the recording technology. Now I'm not sure. Is Duved… -
Expanding repertoire: Recorda me (Joe Henderson)
In our commitment to wide the repertoire of Gypsy Jazz with tunes composed after the death of Django this time we did our best to arrange "Recorda me" from Joe Henderson with the bossa manouche rhythm style popularised by the Rosenbergs and many others. Hope you like it! -

April Song Of The Month--Daphne
This month's song is arguably one of the most joyful songs to listen to & play in the GJ repertoire. It's super easy, as it essentially vascillates between I-vi-ii-V in D and I-vi-ii-V in Eflat. There is that little walk-down in bars 5 & 6, 13 & 14 and 29 & 30 that must be managed properly. But beyond that, it's super…
