The videos and solo transcriptions below come to you courtesy of Denis Chang’s DC Music School. All of them feature artists who are on this year’s Django in June teaching staff: Angelo Debarre, Sébastien Giniaux, Tcha Limberger and Gonzalo Bergara. There are two videos from each—except Tcha, who performs on both guitar and violin for a total of 4 videos—and all feature performances of the same two classics of the jazz manouche tradition: All of Me and Minor Swing. So here’s the phd thesis source material you’ve been looking for. Compare and contrast! (Violinists…Tcha’s violin studies are at the bottom of this page. Feel free to scroll on by all that fretted stuff.)
