Interesting phrases and advice as ever, Christiaan. Good that you spread the word about a great player I never heard of. A year on from buying your book I'm working around chapter 6, (although I did go through to 9). It's a long haul getting up to speed and I still struggle to make even Minor Swing sound gypsyfied ! Perhaps I'm just too straight musically !
I don't play gypsy jazz but i watch your videos from time to time. Always interesting. I'm not playing on your level but trying to pick up things next to playing jazz covers. These videos being short makes it easy to focus and not get over focussed. It's a small package that goes a long way. Thanx for that. Great tip about shifting a half pitch up when creating a line. It seems to have a slight bebop effect.
It makes me so happy you made a video about him. One of my favorite players

What about Jesse Van Ruller?
Jeesse is my favorite, have you heard the record he did of all Joe Henderson tunes? I think it's called Phantom
