🎸🔥 Today we go over a lick from the man himself Django Reinhardt, from Charleston ( • Charleston - Django Reinhardt . It's a real simple lick, but you can take little nuggets from it and apply it elsewhere! It's also easy to transpose to other keys! Try it out, give it a go, let me know what you think, and what you would like to learn about in the comments. 😀

Here's my take on "Misty" by Erroll Garner, one of my favorite pianists. The arrangement comes mostly from Kosta Lukacs, one of my favorite jazz guitarists. Kosta was a Roma guitarist from Hungary who eventually moved to Munich, Germany. I don't know much about him beyond what I've found on YouTube and through Google searches, and I'd love to learn more. From what I can tell, he played a lot of what the Roma call "Cafe Music," a variety of "gypsy" music from all over Europe. He also seems to have done a lot of session work. If you really dive into the few examples of his playing on YouTube, you'll find him playing Django Reinhardt's "Improvisation No. 1." 🤯 I recorded this in one take and mixed it myself using an AKG C414. I'm no sound engineer, but I thought I'd share it! I played my 1991 Anastasio, which is for sale, so email me at Info@jimmygrant.net if you're interested. 👀 Two questions for you: 1. Do you know anything about Kosta Lukacs? I'd love to find out more! 🙏 2. Would you like me to break down part of this arrangement in a lesson? 🎶 #Misty #ErrollGarner #KostaLukacs #JazzGuitar #GypsyJazz

Django used it a lot, as well as any contemporary gypsy jazz artist. You name them, they use it. (Bireli, Stochelo, Angelo Debarre, Jimmy Rosenberg, Paulus Schafer, Adrien Moignard, and of course Django) Bireli uses this lick a lot in this solo: Bireli Lagrene "Hungaria": https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Hi! Greetings from France! 🇳🇱 Last minute date! Just finished Sessions Manouches in the Cévennes, and just added a new concert in Nuenen, Holland — the city where Van Gogh painted over 200 paintings. I'll be performing with Sinti guitarist Paulus Schäfer and Swiss jazz violinist Eva Slongo. We're at Café De Stam at 2:30PM (FEW SPOTS LEFT) and 8:00PM (SOLD OUT). 🏕️ Camp Django in Ashland, OR is coming up fast. Oct 7th-11th — come join me, Sam Farthing, Paulus Schäfer, Tim Kliphuis and Eva Slongo for four days of full gypsy jazz immersion. We only have a handful of spots left. There are very affordable (and comfortable) bunk room options available; they end up being about $175 for the entire event. Are you a professional working musician? You may qualify for a scholarship — all the information is below. 👕 Lastly — here I am with my new (old) shirt, at the Centre Stéphane Grappelli in the South of France. I spent a few days here relaxing, recording, and practicing guitar. I'm wearing a shirt once owned by Stéphane Grappelli, one of the biggest innovators of jazz violin. Without Grappelli, Django would never have become so famous.
