What an amazing article! The author succinctly conveyed the history, his personal experience and that of other great players in a single article. And it's rare to see a referenced literature these days. The author is clearly not a casual writer but an artist and part of the intelligencia. Well done, sir! I hope to see you there later this month.

normally during the last WE of June festival the campsite has no limits to jamming. Trumpets or loud instruments will have to be excluded from the time of 3AM. Now during second WE of July there is a total music curfiew starting at 3AM. That has to do with the French holiday season and nog musicians camping there too. Mind normally the loudness curfiew is valid from 10PM and the exception is only made during the Django Reinhardt festival week.
