Grammy winner Stephane Wrembel was just amazing and so was Simba Baumgartner who joined him from France, and who continues Reinhardt's legacy. The 2 hour concert (no intermission) seemed to be actually short. 'Ochi Chornyie' was the final selection and was going, like most of the other tunes, many directions, tempos, and rhythms. All the way to stratosphere and back.
The NYC and French band featured Stephane Wrembel and Josh Kaye on guitars, Ari Folman Cohen on bass and Nick Anderson on drums, Simba Baumgartner on guitar (Django Reinhardt’s great grandson), and Aurore Voilqué on violin. Each of them a bright star on jazz sky. Baumgartner is a regular at “Taverne de Cluny Monk”, in Paris. I love all the great guitar players we have in Toronto. Some of the best were actually in the audience at this concert.

One of André Langer idols is guitarist Stephane Wrembel. André is first to admit, that he is not at the same level, but his trio provided wonderful entertainment. A little neighborhood café Coffice, hosts Saturday night gypsy jazz featuring Trio Andre and friends playing all the Django, Fats or other jazz classics. I've talked to Langer about the concert with Wrembel in Toronto. He has seen the same concert on line. Coffice is a venue for variety of music and meeting place for small Argentinian community in Prague. The place filled up quickly, even the second room, where you do not see the band. With Guitar - André Langer (Czech), Double bass - Guillermo Acosta (Argentina) Guitar - Alexander Glize (France) and clarinet Jan Lonek (Czech).

There are 3 Schmitts in this group of interpreters of Django Reinhardt music. Dorado, the elder, is legendary with his violin and guitar playing and his sons Samson and Amati are no slouches either. There are not too many jazz harpists, but if they were, Edmar Castaneda would still be probably the best.
Gino Roman- bass, Peter Beets-piano and Franco Mehrstein- rhythm guitar kept the high standard of the musicianship up. The photo is more a memory of the concert rather then a quality photograph, as in Koerner Hall, they frown on anyone taking photos, so these have to be taken clandestinely. The distance from cheaper seats and the lighting reduces the chances to take quality photos to me.

Tarde muy fría aunque con momentos de luz muy bella. Chimenea, música, novela y un chocolate caliente con rebanadas de pan y mantequilla. Mmmmm...!
Django Reinhardt tribute band. A jazz group led by Nathan Beja on guitar, playing alongside some of Toronto’s most talented young jazz musicians including Jacob Gorzhaltsan on clarinet, Matt Coldwell on the bass and Mo Mitchell on violin. The music moves you from small town Unionville to une Rue de Paris in the 1930’s in one song …

day six:
greetings from pont du gard, the second largest, still existing roman structure in the world.
staggering to see and to realize the genius of the romans. they might not have been very nice, but they sure were smart.
spent the day here and then wandering the streets of uzés where we happened upon an amazing street market ... and where i consequently took about a thousand photos.
we are officially in the relaxed, don't have to be anywhere at any time portion of the trip and i couldn't be happier about that. again, this b&b is incredible and i could spend all of my time just lying around looking at the views if i didn't need to eat!
for the curious, yes - that is me in the picture. i'm sure you are doubting that this is a true self portrait, but i promise you, i did set up the shot... not the easiest photo in the world.
hope you enjoy!

This summer The Jazz Seminar in Budva, Montenegro, will be tribute to our famous jazz player Nikola Mimo Mitrovic, who recently passed away. The theme will be also music and skills of Charlie Parker- The Bird, Dizzy Gillespie / whose photos I used for poster/ & Django Reinhardt.
You are welcome! :]

Django Reinhardt, the great French gypsy jazz guitarist.
With a smoke in his mouth and his knarly disfigured chording hand.
Did not realize I had to mirror the image on the block - so this is backwards.
Wow, this was a lot of work - and results are inconsistent print to print but I like it.
Need smoother, less absorbent card stock for this, this paper is too absorbent.

Caption from Down Beat: The serious countenance of Django Reinhardt, cover subject by Bill Gottlieb for this issue, is in deference to the great French guitarist's current concert tour with Duke Ellington. Django, who has built a tremendous American reputation through his waxings with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, was brought from Europe last month by the William Morris Agency, and one of his first concerts in this country was the Beat's Chicago Civic Opera House concert earlier this month. He will appear with Ellington Nov. 23-24 at Carnegie Hall.

I was contacted by the nice folks over at Haute Cuisine to make a mural in their gallery shop, located in Leuven ( Belgium ).
For the first time I painted my musical hero Django Reinhardt. Fun & memorable times !
This mural has a soundtrack:
every year I visit several DJANGO REINHARDT Festivals in France, Belgium, Germany, and The Netherlands; I am not only attracted by the music, but it's also the lifestyle, the laziness, the laid-back mood, the irony, the steady solidarity, the consistency of the community, making their persistent homages to the great Swing guitarist Django Reinhardt...

WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE ... maybe only remains this: a selfportrait, sepia, with my gitane gypsy swing guitar, just working for my gypsy swing revival project ...
Live entertainment on a really. cold morning. note the musicians' cycling gloves!
Victoria to hold open houses for four cycling corridors
The City of Victoria is hosting four open houses so members of the public can provide feedback on the latest design concepts for four cycling corridors set for improvement in 2020.
Jonathan Batiste & band marching through the audience at Django Reinhardt festival. Insanely great concert!
For me this image depicts best the spirit of the Django Reinhardt festival.
I played "Georgia on my mind" faster as usual, inspired by the great Gypsy Swing Jazz musician Django Reinhardt - and actually inspired by the fact, that the French President Hollande is deporting Gypsies out of his land - an act of racism I think ... for more comments: my wordpress blog: flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/georgia-gypsy-ver...
I like the Gypsy culture - but actually European politicians more and more act versus this minority - latest attack: Sarkozy acts versus "illegal" Gypsy Camps in France - view my link list...

Reconstitution de l'atelier de fabrication de guitares Selmer-Maccaferri (1933)
Mario Maccaferri (1900-1993), luthier italien, a conçu de nombreuses guitares pour Selmer jusqu'en 1933 dont la célèbre guitare de jazz de Django Reinhardt.
Musée de la musique, présentation dans le cadre de l'exposition Django Reinhardt
www.citedelamusique.fr/minisites/1210_django/index.aspx
Les pièces détachées, lots de bois et systèmes de fabrication provenant de l'atelier Selmer-Maccaferri ont été achetés par le musée des musiques populaires de Montluçon en 1998.
Par contre, l'outillage à main présenté dans la vitrine provient d'autres ateliers (Françaix et La Harpe Royale-Martin).
Le jazz manouche est à l'honneur au musée de la musique avec l'exposition "Django Reinhardt, swing de Paris". La vie et l’œuvre du célèbre guitariste y sont présentées avec de nombreux détails dans une exposition très bien documentée. Son seul défaut est de disposer d'un espace insuffisant pour la masse d'informations qui ont été rassemblées à cette occasion. Peut-être n'était-ce pas nécessaire de mettre autant de partitions, pochettes de disques, lettres et photos souvent semblables qui n'apportent pas toujours une grande valeur ajoutée ? Les dispositifs sonores sont simples et bien conçus, on peut y attendre de nombreux disques. Par contre les films ne sont pas toujours bien diffusés. Ainsi, une curieuse boite en bois totalement fermée, pourvue d'un écran sur un coté et percée de trous impose de passer la tête dans les orifices pour voir le film. C'est un dispositif curieux et inefficace qui n'a pas sa place dans une exposition de ce type. La salle audiovisuelle offre des conditions de confort plus habituelles et propose un film de 1957 de Paul Paviot en hommage à Django, commenté par Yves Montand et tourné après sa mort en 1953 à Samois.
En bref, l'exposition mérite une visite surtout pour les amateurs de jazz même si la scénographie aurait pu être plus réussie.
