Workshops >>> DATES and LINEUP TO BE ANNOUNCED <<<
Andreas Öberg - Gypsy Fire
In Gypsy Fire, the most recent Djangobooks publication, Andreas Öberg in collaboration with Michael Horowitz has produced a terrific new resource for aspiring Gypsy Jazz guitarists. Gypsy Fire is a collection of melodic patterns and arpeggios that are typical of both contemporary GJ players and those who inspired them.
In his clinic, Andreas Öberg will go over selections from this material as well as introducing new material that was not included in the book. Andreas will approach the material in such a way that newcomers to the style will get a good introduction but at the same time participants that have been working with this type of material for awhile and are looking to take their playing to the next level will acquire some helpful tools and devices for GJ improvisation.

Jason Anick - Learn from the Masters
Ever wonder how the great gypsy jazz violinists like Didier Lockwood, Florin Nicolescu, and Stephane Grappelli get their unique “sound” ? For this workshop I will compare the various stylistic, rhythmic, and harmonic aspects that give these respected players their unique sound. I will teach a part of each player’s solo over the classic tune “Minor Swing” as well as show some classic licks that will be great additions to your own “musical toolbox”. Finally, I will discuss ways on how you can start to develop your own unique sound. This workshop is open for violinists of all levels.
