Hi All

Will be in San Diego from the 20th to the 26th downtown at the HILTON carless.

Any jams in the area or gigs worth catching?

Thanks Jay

Jazzaferri

hmmmm...getting the feeling there isn't one

Any players at all in the area

you might have to go up to the Long Beach area, a good 2 hour drive if you want to find GJ. A good scene there.

Thanks amigo.

I go to San Diego frequently. Never really saw any Gypsy jazz although there's a couple bands in the area: Trio Gadjo, Gypsy Swing Cats and Zzymzzy Quartet. I don't know how active they are because there was never a show scheduled whenever I was there.

thanks @Buco

Hello Jazzaferri,

You will just miss the Dorado Schmitt concert on Nov 29.

The 3 groups listed are active but I don't think they have weekly gigs so have to check the dates you are there for any shows. There are 3 music calendars I check in SD:

There is a swing music festival at the Handlery hotel that week. I haven't been so can't vouch for it.

I've been getting together weekly with another guitarist. I'm only a few blocks from where you are staying so if you are interested in a fun jam feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for that @jimand Will let you know
