The 4th New Zealand Gypsy Jazz Workshop July 4th and 5th 2009- Details at:
http://www.gypsyjazzworkshop.com/
A tribute to the great Manouche Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt played and composed by New Zealand guitarist Leigh Jackson. I love the vitality and power in Django's music and it humbles me every time I hear it.
If you want to see the gipsy experts look up, Tchavolo Schmitt,Stochelo Rosenberg, Bireli Lagrene, Dorado Schmitt and of course Angelo Debarre. My ancestors were from Alsace in France and one day I will visit but for now this is the best I can do, please enjoy my composition Django's Caravan.

Another video in the series "Swing Gitan"

  • Subscribed to your channel - I love Gypsy Jazz. Question, are those Grado headphones? I recognise the splitter there... I am curious now :-P

  • @looseunitaaw Very observant mate, yes they are and they are the best sounding headphones I have ever used. Cheers Leigh

  • don't you think its a bit unsporting to play using all the fingers on your left hand?

    i kid, i kid.

    =P

  • In fact, it makes a change to actually HEAR some reverb in the music we play today. Reverb adds a whole new dimension to the music.

  • mmmm hmmmmm

  • Very good!!! What scales?

  • @Geist40 Django n'avait pas tout ces doigts

  • @rafapak i believe its a selmer maccaferri, probably early 50s, if its legit. i know there's only like 1000 left since the 40s and 50s. since then selmer has made a bunch of similar models but the maccaferri was the original model with the "D hole" and the 24th fret extension

  • @Geist40 HA HA that's funny

  • ye he he he yes it does add a new dimension genius

  • @looseunitaaw geek

  • gypsy le chien , brigitte fossey et saskia

  • what kind of picks is he using?

  • I wanna see him use that last fret on the b and e strings.
