Author Comment / Biography:
My name is Yaakov Hoter. When I started playing the guitar at age 13, my brother gave me a cassette of Django Reinhardt's music. Django stunned me. I was amazed by his musicality, virtuosity and energy and I became obsessed. It was long before the Internet era and I searched for videos and books in various catalogs, waiting weeks for them to arrive. I ordered the video "Django Legacy" and transcription books; I tried to play Django's solos, but somehow, it just never sounded like him! Meanwhile, I started to learn music and played with various bands in various styles. I discovered the blues, rock, fusion, jazz, Indian, Arabic and Irish music. Every few years, I got deeply into a new style. I went on to get my bachelor's degree in music, play in various bands and write music for theater, but my enthusiasm for playing Django’s music never faded. Then, one day, I finally decided to concentrate on my childhood dream - Django's Gypsy jazz style. Suddenly, it all came together. I met Walter Clerici and Jon Larsen, who guided me through my first steps with the technique. Later on, I studied with Fapy Lafertin; I had the privilege to jam a bit with great Gypsy Jazz musicians like: Bireli Lagrene, Stochelo Rosenberg, Moreno and Nomy Rosenberg. I learned a lot from these amazing musicians. They were very generous and kind. Now, I have a band called Swing De Gitanes. Please check us out on YouTube and other places on the web. The band has performed with Jon Larsen and Hot Club de Norvège, with Lulo Reinhardt and with Daniel Weltlinger.
