š» Finally home after another amazing time at Grappelli-Django Camp.
The first day, I honestly wasnāt 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 timeā¦ it was a close one.Luckily, Iāve developed a deep fear of missing flights over the years, so I always show up extra early āļø
If youāve never been to Grappelli-Django Camp, I canāt recommend it enough. Tim Kliphuisbrings together incredible musicians and teachersāand just as importantly, people who are genuinely great to be around. That combination creates such a positive atmosphere for both students and faculty. Itās truly a win-win.
Itās always a privilege and an honor to share the music of Django Reinhardt with so many wonderful people, both in Europe and the US
šŗšø If getting to Europe feels like too much, and youāre experiencing a little FOMOāTim, Adrien Chevalier, and I are hosting the first US edition of Grappelli-Django Camp at the Ashokan Center in Olive Bridge, NY, February 20ā22.
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 āSome Of These Daysā played by Jimmy Rosenberg, featuring a rhythm section with two people Iām lucky to now call friendsāSimon Planting and Reinier Voet.
