Always great to check out the latest at Michael Horowitz's DjangoBooks.com. The Video Archive is a treasury of great performances for the Django enthusiast, but more importantly for those unfamiliar with the genre, it's great exposure to the intense passion and technical tips and secrets of these musicians, visually.

The latest entries include some very rare performances by Romane and Stochelo Rosenberg, Dorado and Samson Schmitt, George Van Eps, Jimmy Rosenberg, and Andreas Oberg

Michael has added new CD titles this month including some hard to get Brazilian, Hamilton de Holanda "Brasilianos" and "Samba Do Aviao", along with new gypsy finds, Svend Asmussen Quartet, "Fit as a Fiddle: Live in Concert," Gaucho "Deluxe," Rafael Rabello, Paulo Moura, and others, "Le Choro Contemporain 1978-1999 2 CDs," Hot Club de Norvege with Ola Kvernberg and the Tromso Symphony Orchestra, "White Night Live," Hot Club de Norvege with Ivar Brodhal, "Best of Hot Club de Norvege: The Vintage Guitars Series, Vol. 17," Raphael Fays, "Django & Classic 2 CDs," and perennial favorite, Bireli Lagrene, "Djangology" and "To Bi or Not to Bi 2 CDs."

Check out the lastest in the print section, "The Pearl Django Play-along Songbook" is now available again at a new lower price! Of course we also encourage you to participate in the special Mandolin Gypsy Jazz Forum.
