I'm André, i live near Porto and i'm a beginner in the genre, looking for other people who plays or share interest in this kind of music. Gipsy Jazz seems to be almost unknown in Portugal. Recently i went to Oslo to see Angelo Debarre and Dorato Schmitt at the Django festival there, so i'm really looking forward to jam with someone and learn as much as i can about it. Cheers

I don’t get up to Porto very often but if you are down Lisbon/Setúbal way let me know – looks like a friend and I will have regular sessions playing gypsy jazz and Cape Verdian music and you would be welcome to join in. We are also pretty new to g.j. although we have played other styles for some years.
Sounds Awesome Bill, id love to, ill let you know whenever i go South
Algarve is a bit far, but i know there you can find some Gipsy jazz live music, specially in the Summer.. I'm looking forward for my first time in Samois this year.. Thanks Ray ill let you know if i ever go to Algarve
Actually, I'm promoting GJ in Portugal. I've managed to introduce Paulus' Trio to the opening of the Festival, have been playing with my band "DJANGOLOGY - THE MANOUCHE SESSIONS" and interviewing GJ greats like Gonzalo Bergara, Andreas Oberg, and many others.
Let me share with you the site with all the links:
