I am going to attend 3 gypsy jazz workshops this year. Valencia is my first one in 2026. Since 2022 I attend at least one per year. What is common to all of these is that one spends several days with likeminded people from many walks of life. It is a bit like living in a bubble. One gets inspired, stimulated and then its is over until the next workshop. I always thought it would be nice if we could extend the experience beyond these blessed days and do more together than chatting on WhatsApp. We can, indeed. The online jams are just that. With fast internet and some basic equipment we can continue making music together. There is an entire SKOOL community about online jams. Interested? Reach out.

Hello friends! I know it's not so gypsy jazz related, but I'm curious if anyone in here has experience with Meta ads/google tags/pixel! I'd love to pick your brain! We could even trade some time! Ciao!

Are there gipsy jazz play players in Holland. Specially in Brabant?

Some of you will be active in my next public live stream session, others can watch while it happens or later on. When: 26 March 2026 20.00 Paris time Where: https://www.jacktrip.com/events/hL8YAVBFnViuhygLVGjW1 Why: show that you might be able to enjoy something similar, in Gypsy Jazz or else. Reach out if you want to try.

I think it is doable and enjoyable, probably with members of this group and some violins from the Jazz Violin Academy. Besides being my opinion I also questioned my AI co-pilot and here is what it says : Short answer: yes — a gypsy‑jazz ensemble split between St. Augustine and Boston can be enjoyable, as long as everyone understands the feel will be slightly more relaxed than an in‑person jam. And for gypsy jazz, that’s not a deal‑breaker at all. Let me break down why. 🎸 Why Gypsy Jazz Works Surprisingly Well Online Gypsy jazz has a few built‑in advantages for remote performance: 1. The rhythm is elastic, not rigid La pompe is driving, but it’s not a metronomic pop groove. Players naturally “breathe” around the beat, and that flexibility absorbs a bit of latency. 2. The ensemble is small Usually 2–4 guitars, maybe a bass. Fewer players = fewer timing conflicts. 3. The attack is percussive but forgiving Gypsy picking has a strong transient, but the harmonic rhythm is fast enough that slight timing offsets don’t feel catastrophic. 4. Solos and accompaniment alternate Only one soloist at a time means fewer simultaneous timing dependencies. 🎧 What the latency numbers mean musically From the earlier calculation, a Boydton, VA JackTrip studio gives: - 48–68 ms total round‑trip latency between St. Augustine and Boston. Musically, here’s how that feels: Latency Range Musical Feel < 30 ms Feels almost local 30–50 ms Noticeable but playable with relaxed styles 50–70 ms Playable for swing, bossa, gypsy jazz, folk; not ideal for tight funk > 80 ms Starts to feel like call‑and‑response Your expected range sits in the “playable for swing/gypsy jazz” zone. 🎼 So… will it be enjoyable? Yes — if you approach it like a slightly looser, more conversational jam. Players will adapt quickly: - Rhythm guitar can lean a hair ahead. - Soloists can phrase with a touch more legato. - Everyone listens more intentionally. Gypsy jazz is already conversational by nature, so the slight latency becomes part of the vibe rather than a flaw.
