Special Presentation: Samson Schmitt

Samson will work on the Gypsy treatment of harmony, scales, chords and ‘la pompe’ rhythm, techniques developed over many years of touring with his father and teaching numerous workshops around the world. He will use a composition of his called, Manouche Attitude, and include handouts of this tune. Joining him will be his cousins, Panche and Benji, who will help demonstrate the proper techniques, as passed down through the generations of Gypsy greats, many of which reside in the venerable and illustrative Weiss and Winterstein families.

This session is open to spectators as well as participants and recording devices are permitted.
