​Django in June
June 13-19, 2022
Smith College
Northampton, Massachusetts
Django in June is New England's premiere occasion to celebrate, study and just plain enjoy the musical tradition unwittingly launched en France some 75 years ago by Django Reinhardt, now known by many as "Gypsy jazz." Musicians from all over North America attend: last year, there were a handful of accordions, as well as scads of guitars, violins, mandolins and basses. The instruction is top-notch and the evening concerts and jam sessions are fantastic. 
The accordion has a long and interesting association with Gypsy jazz. Django's first gigs as a child-professional were as an accompanist for accordionists playing musette in rough and tumble dance clubs of working-class Paris. 
The Django in June website, www.djangoinjune.com provides leadsheets and MP3's of the tunes that form a basis of the curriculum for the course.
