Hello, I know some of you have been discussing this tune in the group! 🎫 Tour dates: https://jimmygrant.net This is a modern gypsy jazz tune written by Ninine Garcia, a musician that Eva Slongo toured and recorded with during her years in Paris. The tune has since become a favorite in the scene, especially after players like Robin Nolan and Adrien Moignardbrought it into their repertoire. We’ve just released our version as a new single — now available on all streaming platforms! Eva Slongo – violinJimmy Grant – guitar Noah Young – guitarCarlos Rubio – bass Don't forget you can come study with us in Valencia, Spain in May, and in Fribourg, Switzerland in June! Details in the classroom!

Jimmy - it's not written by Ninine Garcia but he made it popular. Paquito Lorier is the composer.

@Jimmy Grant it’s my shelley park- I leave it at Janna’s. I don’t tend to gig with it as it doesn’t amplify well but I might try it with this new Kleio 47 pickup I got.
🎻 Finally home after another amazing time at Grappelli-Django Camp.
The first day, I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to make it. Between emails from Transavia asking me to give up my seat, a two-hour line just to check my bag, and barely getting to the gate in time… it was a close one.Luckily, I’ve developed a deep fear of missing flights over the years, so I always show up extra early ✈️ If you’ve never been to Grappelli-Django Camp, I can’t recommend it enough. Tim Kliphuisbrings together incredible musicians and teachers—and just as importantly, people who are genuinely great to be around. That combination creates such a positive atmosphere for both students and faculty. It’s truly a win-win. It’s always a privilege and an honor to share the music of Django Reinhardt with so many wonderful people, both in Europe and the US 🇺🇸 If getting to Europe feels like too much, and you’re experiencing a little FOMO—Tim, Adrien Chevalier, and I are hosting the first US edition of Grappelli-Django Camp at the Ashokan Center in Olive Bridge, NY, February 20–22. It was also an honor to share the stage with Reinier Voet for a few tunes. One of the very first solos I ever transcribed (almost 20 years ago!) was “Some Of These Days” played by Jimmy Rosenberg, featuring a rhythm section with two people I’m lucky to now call friends—Simon Planting and Reinier Voet.

I hope you were warm enough! I've been 3 or 4 times but I prefer the summer and I'm probably going to go this year.

@Jimmy Grant Great. Tim's summer camp is usually late August I think. When is your Oregon session? I really enjoyed that last year. Great town.

Been playing gypsy jazz for about 5 years. I like to play rhythm because I sound like a 2 year old when I improvise. I'm a slow but consistent learner
