I attended the Mando Jam () summer camp last year, (and will be attending again this year), in Orleans, CA. How this would all translate to the mandolin. and you can provide a moving bass line as well. It provides the back beat of the missing snare drum. It's a phenomenal technique when it's just the accompaniest and soloist. It's appeal rests in its clear definition of the beat, driving repetitive patterns, and its ability to express a sort of innocent enthusiasm. This rhythm, which is French for "the pump", has a bouncy, swinging, foot-tapping feel that hardly anyone can resist.
I'll quote form Michael Horowitz's Gypsy Rhythm Vol I: "One of the distinguishing features of Gypsy Jazz is the infectious accompaniment style known as la pompe. So all forms of old style acoustic jazz accompaniment is important to me. And i'm primarily interested in providing a solid rhythmic background for whoever's out front. I'm primarily an acoustic guitar player aspiring to be a guitarist. i'll bow to John so we'll see what he has to say. "La pompe" is totally different, listen to the way Don Stiernberg plays with Jethro Burns and liken to gypsies. and no one Gypsy plays jazz mandolin (only trad music from Carpathian mountains). In fact, thet are all playing standards from the songbooks of the gypsy guitar players, but, mostly, understanding the concept of tension and resolution like americam jazz players but not in a gypsy like manner. In 1946 he met and played with Django Reinhardt while the legendary guitarists was on tour with Duke Ellington in New York City.ĭavid Grisman, palyed with Stephan Grappelli aud Jethro Burns was a Django's fan.īut it's not enough to assert they are, really, playing "gypsy jazz mandolin". He is also regarded as one of the first jazz mandolinist, with such memorable recordings as Who and St. His styles include Gypsy and various kinds of European Folk Music. Today Dave Apollon is regarded as one of the most innovative and influential mandolinists of the Twentieth Century, whose more notable recordings/performances include Two Guitars, Hora staccato by Grigoraş Dinicu and Zigeunerweisen aka "Gypsy Airs" by Pablo de Sarasate. Dave Apollon (FebruMay 1972) was a Russian mandolin player.
