▬ Hot Club Jazz ▬ or "Jazz Manouche" / "Hot Swing"
was developed in Paris during the 1930s by the Romani guitarist Django Reinhardt and French-Italian violinist Stéphane Grappelli.
Their group “Quintette du Hot Club de France” was unusual in that it had no brass lead instruments nor drums, unlike most jazz groups of the 1930s. This was compensated by the guitar’s highly rhythmic playing style called “la pompe” (“the pump”).
Their composition “minor swing” (“Mineur Swing”), recorded in 1937, is regarded as one of the pivotal recordings of Hot Club Jazz as well as Violin Jazz.
It is characterized by simple chord changes and a repetitive structure giving Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli the opportunity to showcase their virtuosity through their solos.

[@rachelewildmare5607]

Super helpful..... and so much FUN! You truly rock, Christian (and swing too!)

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Thank you so much Rachele

[@edsegalowitz5495]

HI Chris, really appreciate your putting these together including the backing track. As i play along i see how much more just playing along i need to do, to get smooth and relaxed. I guess we call it practicing. Appreciate having the backing track as it allows me to explore not only the piece but also my instrument.. Thanks again. Ed

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

So glad it is helpful Ed! Question: I’m thinking about doing more versions on this tune in which each play along phrase is twice as long. Do you think that would be helpful?

[@zhuanghaochai9683]

Love this !

This video was so helpful! Thanks!!

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Viola Lora I’m so glad you found it to be useful!

[@martingelbard6252]

What great fun - Thank you Christian!! I'd love to try similar play along to Klezmer style, with that characteristic flat 6th - sharp 7th interval etc.

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Interesting idea! I’ll look into doing one of those. I know that Chris Hague has some klezmer lesson videos on youtube! You should check him out. If you like these videos, you might be interested in joining my upcoming workshop-it’s totally play along based and we work in a variety of different styles. Check it out here- christianhowes.com/csw_online6/ happy practicing!

[@ronleemans2042]

Yep that great music. I like the language swing used!

Thank youu for make this video sir..

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Most welcome

[@brettudal]

Hello Christian. Thanks for the great videos. What pickup do you recommend for an acoustic violin to play jazz and back tracks.

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Hi! I recommend Calling Electric Violin Shop for their best advice about all the most current best options. Their phone on their website electricviolinshop.com

[@janh7147]

Great lesson! I stopped halfway because i want to transcribe the notes and then practise using the sheet music I've written out. What do you think? A good idea or no? Thanks

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

Great question. This is designed for people to avoid the need to transcribe. So if it’s difficult to play short phrases back you may want to try the easier videos of mine and then work your way up to the more advanced ones. Not that transcribing will hurt (it doesn’t hurt) Make sense? For more support, resources, invites, etc jump on my mail list at christianhowes.com/education. We’ll set up a free into private lesson on zoom if you want.

[@janh7147]

@@ChristianHowesViolin ok thank you... I'll learn it by ear. More challenging for me but I understand why 🙂

[@alipainting]

Hi Christian, what key is this in? I want to practice it first :)

[@ChristianHowesViolin]

A minor:)

[@alipainting]

Thanks Christian 😊
