"portraying human wildlife"
......the festival year 2011 has started with Augsburg's "19th Django Memorial"...probably the best to start the season - excellent Jazz Manouche program, followed by "Django á Liberchies" and the "Festival des Puces", Saint Ouen,.....then the main event, the "32nd Django Reinhardt Festival" in Samois.....from there going to Hildesheim's "11th Gipsy Festival"...and up to now closed by the "9th Jazz Festival" in La Petite Pierre, France........
would be nice to cu all where- and whenever possible
Samois was Samoreau this year - due to the program and the organisation's refusal
of an accreditation as photographer
Koblenz will be left out this year, because Hildesheim is on the same weekend.
...and here some of the best Jazz Manouche I've heard for a long time -
the live-stream of Robin Nolan's last CD recording in Amsterdam
perhaps the right appetizer to join in.......
...a second guy from the border of the community, playing really fine swinging Jazz Manouche......Biel Ballester...enjoy!
