Gypsy Jazz Performance

A good performance today. I mostly played rhythm. The lineup:
1) Me 
2) A lead guitar player
3) A standup bass player
4) Violin player 
5) Viola player
6) Drummer
7) Accordian Player

Also practiced today from the Charlie Christian book, Assembly Line materials, and also practiced "Over the Rainbow." Robert Conti told me to get about two dozen Assembly Line songs under my belt before moving on to the Formula, and that's what I'm doing, along with trying to memorize the chord names.

Would love to be able to play chord melody as well as melodic leads in the Charlie Christian style.

Been enjoying listening to the Jimmy Reed type of blues music.
