[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Support live jazz!

[Marek Boym]

A correction:
The hall where last night concert took place holds 375 people, not 122 as
per my original report.  And while there were some free seats, some
listeners were standing in the doorway, which makes it over-capacity.
Sorry for the error.

Just back from a very enjoyable concert by the French Gypsy guitar wizard
Bireli Lagrene  with our own word class Swing de Gitanes.  The programme
consisted of Django Reinhardt  classics, including the obligatory Minor
Swing, a standard or two, Lagrene's originals and one Yaakov Hoter (Swing
de Gitanes leader) original.  Swing de Gitanes was well prepared for the
concert, having studied Lagrene's originals (which, he claimed, he had
forgotten).  The small hall (122 seats) was full almost to capacity.  Most
of the audience seemed young, although there were some silver heads as well.
At the end, the band got a well earned standing ovation.
Cheers
