Why Django, String Jazz covers all forms in awesome statements of the Soul

Stephanie Grapphelli of France gave Django Reinhardt his start, yet it is his name that is often recognized in smooth jazz circles,but his mentor was Stephane Graphelli, the great Jazz Violinist. Graphelli ultimately partnered with Jerome Kern the great keyboardist of Jazz. Joe Venuti opened the Jack Parr show and was the wild man of Jazz in America during the 40's; Hezekiah "Stuff" Smith, after completing his conservatory studies became the leader of one of the most popular Big Bands during the "Golden era", and he lead his band as one of the greatest Jazz Violin Player. Only one school (Berklee) offers real training in this genre of Smooth Jazz, many others actually cause more problems then providing the tools for a true "Appreciation" and techniques needed to stand ready for an improvised solo.as well as a performing Jazz instrumentalist. But its legacy and tradition must not become extinct, .It must be passed down with rigorous study and most importantly by instructors that are proficient in the Jazz genre'. The fire it kindles with bring America new talent in this area. So here is your stage call, CALLING ALL STRINGS PLAYERS WHO LIKE JAZZ, as a group we can re-establish the genre and make it the AMERICAN HOT CLUB. However,. It takes numbers and desire. The soul will lead your desire; then comes the collaboration
