Sunday 16 May 1-3pm @ MICC
Neil Andersson
Host Neil Andersson explores the music of Django Reinhardt. A look at three classic compositions: Nuages, Djangology and Manoir de mes reves. As points of departure, Neil will discuss Django’s chord use, comparing the original forms with subsitutions and embellishments. Additionally Neil will address how Django moved through the chords including idiomatic phrases, contemporary ideas, and unique two-finger soloing.
Neil Andersson is one of the founding members of Pearl Django. That was in 1994. Now 16-years later, eleven records, countless gigs and many miles of touring since, Neil is leaving the busy band life to balance music with his “other” career as a visual artist: www.neilandersson.com. A true Renaissance man…with an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago…and one wicked guitar player.
