Ninine Garcia Paquito Lick
Here's a great lick Ninine Garcia plays over Paquito.

@Jimmy Grant it’s my shelley park- I leave it at Janna’s. I don’t tend to gig with it as it doesn’t amplify well but I might try it with this new Kleio 47 pickup I got.
🎻 Finally home after another amazing time at Grappelli-Django Camp.
The first day, I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to make it. Between emails from Transavia asking me to give up my seat, a two-hour line just to check my bag, and barely getting to the gate in time… it was a close one.Luckily, I’ve developed a deep fear of missing flights over the years, so I always show up extra early ✈️ If you’ve never been to Grappelli-Django Camp, I can’t recommend it enough. Tim Kliphuisbrings together incredible musicians and teachers—and just as importantly, people who are genuinely great to be around. That combination creates such a positive atmosphere for both students and faculty. It’s truly a win-win. It’s always a privilege and an honor to share the music of Django Reinhardt with so many wonderful people, both in Europe and the US 🇺🇸 If getting to Europe feels like too much, and you’re experiencing a little FOMO—Tim, Adrien Chevalier, and I are hosting the first US edition of Grappelli-Django Camp at the Ashokan Center in Olive Bridge, NY, February 20–22. It was also an honor to share the stage with Reinier Voet for a few tunes. One of the very first solos I ever transcribed (almost 20 years ago!) was “Some Of These Days” played by Jimmy Rosenberg, featuring a rhythm section with two people I’m lucky to now call friends—Simon Planting and Reinier Voet.

I hope you were warm enough! I've been 3 or 4 times but I prefer the summer and I'm probably going to go this year.

@Jimmy Grant Great. Tim's summer camp is usually late August I think. When is your Oregon session? I really enjoyed that last year. Great town.
kleio 47
Any one try one? Believe it or not the best sound I currently have is a John Le Voi with a bigtone - most people seem to dislike the bigtone. I saw someone in Paris using a Peche and I like the volume control - and although it's not quite acoustic I liked the sound. I have a CS Censor on my Duffel which sounds pretty good and I prefer the Duffel 14 fret over my le Voi 12 fret but the amplified sound is what matters on a gig. Jerome Duffel recommended the kleio 47. I believe one of the Oregon guys was using one at your camp Jimmy?

Been playing gypsy jazz for about 5 years. I like to play rhythm because I sound like a 2 year old when I improvise. I'm a slow but consistent learner
