This lesson will introduce swing repertoire and techniques developed by Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli in France in the 1930’s in the group, The Quintette du Hot Club de France. This uplifting swing style offers short, fun melodies, with space for soloing that can often be boiled down to one five-note scale. Tunes will be organized and taught through specific practice approaches and skills.
Backing Tracks and triple-clef notation for a large number of Gypsy Jazz tunes included.
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.

Julie Lyonn Lieberman has helped develop the multi-style string field over the last forty+ years through her work as an educator, author, radio producer, composer, writer, recording artist, and performer. She started out as a fiddler, performing at folk festivals and clubs up and down the east coast in the late 1970s/early 1980s using either a mic or a Fishman pickup, depending on the gig. Her introduction to amplification and special effects began while touring with Brian Eno recording artist, Laraaji Venus, in the early 1980s. Read More About Julie→
