This is for people in the Colorado area:
I have challenged Robert Schlessinger to a musical death match!!! GYPSY VS JAZZ. We both slapped together a quartet, and we are going head to head in the ring at the D-Note in Arvada. 2 quartets will get up on stage, only one will leave. We need every gypsy players support to fight against the evil minions of jazz who have systematically excluded Gypsy from all jazz-studies programs, and have tried to all but remove Django from jazz history altogether. Even if you can't come if you know some GJ lovers we'd appreciate it if you passed on the event to defend Django's honor in the musical octagon.
