Django in June

robertsaunders

Wayne, thanks so much for the clips. I really miss the spirit, the jams, and the cameraderie of Django in June...seems like a dream. The clips help bring that stuff back.

Playing the usual straight-ahead with my guys has lost some of its luster since DiJ, but I did manage to pull out some gypsy licks Saturday night...I was a jammin' gypsy fool.

I realized watching the clips that Swing 49 also goes by the name of Swing 48 (which is what I thought its "real" name was).

Robert:

48, 49... I wasn't sure and Ted G. wasn't handy so I looked on Kruno's cd and that's what he calls it on the cd.


To me it's so modern it could be Swing 2007.


I hear what you're saying about it all seeming like a dream. I'm just glad I went. Life's so short you've got to occasionally treat your soul.

Hello Django In June '07 alumni ;-)

A week has past since Django In June, and it's likely that many of you are still experiencing Northampton gypsy jazz withdrawal effects, as I am! I've published my conclusions on this unique event on my blog, and invite you to add your own two cents, if you feel so inclined:

While I was attending, I also had the opportunity to record an audio interview with Andrew on his Community Guitar project, which is now published on my blog as a podcast. Thanks again Andrew, for being so generous with your time!

If you have an account on Flickr, and want to add your Northampton experience photos to the Django In June pool, please do so here:

Finally, perhaps we never got a chance to chat in Northampton, or you've forgotten who this Gilles Roy guy is. If this be the case, check out my musical bio on my blog:

Anyhow, it was great to meet you all. Let's keep in touch!

I'd love to hear from anyone who happened to get a recording, audio or otherwise, of the Stephane Wrembel Trio set Friday night?

robertsaunders

Me too. I know someone videotaped Wrembel for DiJ, but I forgot who, and I don't know how or if they plan to grant access to it.
