A- how about cherokee from ella and joe sophsticated lady- it's a solo tune . . . also I dig his version of joy spring.
Michael- is there a cd with this book? if so who plays it (you right?) . . .It would be great to have the basic stuff documented on cd . . .

thanks.

I'll do a lot of it...but there will also be plenty of Django examples too!

I also like his acoustic guitar playing on "Tivoli Gardens," a live recording he made with Stephane Grappelli and Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen.

Right on,
I was trying to think of what was greatest off of for django- and had forgotton about the record with Stephane grapelli and Nhop.

Fine listening!

The new book on rhythm playing in the gypsy jazz style sounds like it is going to be really great - I do hope you are able to have it available before Christmas - that way we can all give ourselves at least one Christmas present we'll really be looking forward to opening. Well done.
I understand that as customers, we probably don't have any real appreciation of the many limitations and difficulties you must have to overcome to produce each new publication, but I'd still like to put in another word for a DVD/CD to accompany the new book. I feel it it would be so useful to so many of us to be able to see what your doing, as well as read to about it, and to hear it.
Recognising how challenging it must be to produce the book, let alone an accompanying CD (or even two as you mentioned in an earlier posting), in a limited timescale, why not consider producing a DVD at a later date? That way people could purchase it separately when it became available, and you wouldn't have to delay the publication of the new book - which we're all so keen to see.
I bet there'd also be a big demand for a DVD to go with your first book "Gypsy Picking". Colin Cosimini, with his early publications, proved it is possible to produce the book first, and then an accompanying CD. And still sell the CD afterwards as an 'add-on'. Not the ideal way agreed, but I feel sure a lot of enthusiasts would like to see a practical demonstration of the techniques on a DVD.
Whatever happens, many congratulations on the work you are doing, and I hope at some stage you're able to get over to the UK and deliver some of your workshops in this country.
Best regards,
Stuart
I'll be making DVDs for both Gypsy Picking and Gypsy Rhythm. The Rhythm book has taken up all my time for the last two years...now that's almost done I should have time for some smaller projects like making DVDs.
I'm hoping to start taking pre-orders around X-mas...however I don't think we'll be able to deliver till early next year.
Thanks!

DVDs - Gypsy Rhythm and Gypsy Picking
That's excellent news, I'm confident both of them will be very well received by enthusiasts worldwide - and strong sellers for Djangobooks.com as well.
It's a shame we'll not be able to treat ourselves to the Gypsy Rhythm book over the Christmas holidays, but it'll be something to look forward to in 2006.
Congratulations again on your contribution to the body of knowledge.
Stuart
I'm begging you: give us a pre-order option so I can force my folks into supporting my habit...delivery?-two months, three months, it's fine, so long as it's on their credit. The holidays are nigh; think of all the guilt-ridden lapsed Catholic parents out there in the world, trying to make things right by their kids! Well, this kid, anyway.
Seriously, though, I've already pointed them toward just about everything else in the shop, but it's really Gypsy Rhythm that I'm looking for.
All best,
Jack.
