Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

September 11, 2007 | Djangofest Northwest 2007

For all you Pacific Northwest Djangophiles, on Sept. 19-23, DjangoFest returns to Whidbey Island for a five-day festival celebrating the music and spirit of the great French/Belgian Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt. The premier "Gypsy Jazz" festival in the western hemisphere, Djangofest Northwest is a unique opportunity for Gypsy Jazz fans, players and enthusiasts from around the globe to congregate in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and attend an extraordinary series of concerts by top internationally renowned players. In addition, expanded workshops are being offered to both guitarists and violinists, giving them the opportunity to learn from the masters. There will be numerous impromptu djam sessions popping up wherever one turns, as the entire village of Langley, on beautiful Whidbey Island, just a ferry ride from Seattle, gets into the swing of things.

Artist line-up includes: 3 Leg Torso, Andreas Oberg, Annie Staninec, Billet-Deux, Dan Hicks, Early Swing Now, Fishtank Ensemble, Hot Club Pacific, Hot Club Sandwich, Howard Alden Gypsy Project, Ivan Pena, Jeremie Arranger, Kruno, Lache Cercel and The Roma Swing Ensemble, Larry Coryell, Mathieu Chatelain, Norig, Pearl Django, Pete Krebs Trio. Robin Nolan Trio, Sammo Miltich, Sebastien Giniaux Trio, and Swing Papillon.

Even though there is nothing mandolin specific in the clinics, it sounds like a lot of fun.
