Just proof that folks can swing dance during a bass solo without drummer keeping time. #lapompe #gypsyjazz #ultratour #djangojazz #houseconcert @jontigert #charmcityswing

This was the scene at our last Django Jazz Night on Monday. An incredible crowd filled the Belgian Beer Bar in Hampden. There were even some amazing dancers who moved gracefully throughout the space. I've decided to learn to swing dance finally! Soon. Very soon. After I get back from the Netherlands. Next Djam @dekleineduivel will be sometime in early July. Stay tuned! #djangojazz #jazzjam #charmcityswing #charmcity #ultratour #bmoredjango

Late night duo jams with the awesome Harry Diplock in London. Harry is playing his Olivier Marin guitar on the left. I'm playing my Craig Bumgarner guitar on the right.

Always a process of trial and error continuing to chip away at these compositions until they are complete. Hours of reviewing ideas on this iPad studio app until a find the right one. It's kind of surreal really, listening to myself play these ideas on the recording and having to re-learn what I've already done. Often my first rough improvised idea is the best one, not the ones I've deliberated over as nauseam. Then I literally have to transcribe my own ideas to be able to play them once again. Sometimes I cannot play these passages at all bc I've forgotten the sublties of the technique I used intuitively when I wrote them. I just have to repeat them over and over, a ritual which I actually enjoy. #originalmusic #djangojazz
