Greetings Gypsy jazzers,

My friend, Yaakov Hoter, one of the leading guitarists on the Gypsy Jazz scene and, more importantly, one of the most devoted instructors and teachers out there, is now opening a free mini series course about Django Reinhardt’s picking style. For the next 12 days, this mini series is yours for the asking. You’ll learn a complete solo improvisation over Dark Eyes, improve your technique and learn exciting new ideas from the master, Django! I think anyone who has studied my own Gypsy Picking book will find this series to be an excellent way to further develop your rest-stroke picking technique:

A Henriksen BLU amplifier will be up for auction at this year’s DjangoFest NW. Stop by the DjangoBooks table to place your bid. The winner will get a great deal on what is fast becoming one of the top choices for Gypsy jazz amplification!

This September will mark the 18th annual DjangoFest Northwest. We’ve watched it grow from humble origins into five days of concerts and workshops, featuring dozens of world-class artists and thousands of attendees, making it the largest festival of Gypsy Jazz in North America! This coming DFNW promises to once again bring together the world’s best and brightest musicians, a constellation of stars featuring both old friends and new. We are saddened to share with you that festival Artistic Director Nick Lehr has joined Django Reinhardt to djam with the angels. He will be sorely missed by all of us who loved him.
