The International Gypsy
Jazz Archive.
Welcome to participating on creating

with free access, at www.nordi.no/music/hcr/
Recherchée!
Toute information sur les artistes
ou évènements suivants afin de générer des entrées dans le who's who du Jazz
Gitan - Pouvez-vous nous aider ? Merci de nous contacter à l'adresse suivante
: chris.wait@free.fr (Christopher Wait).
*) Afin d'éviter le travail en doublon, merci d'informer les archives quand
vous commencer à travailler sur une biographie, de sorte que nous puissions
faire suivre le nom d'une astérisque (*).
The ambition is to create the world's
first Hot Club index on the web; a non profit website with hyperlinks to more
deepening information wherever available. Collecting all this info takes time,
and we need all the help we can get. The goal is to have the first 200
pages ready by Jan 2001.
The site when finished will be hosted
by DRSP with mirror sites in Europe, Asia, and America.
Why? Because there is nowhere
to go to find reliable info about this - yet.
The website shall present all artists,
past and present, in the Hot Club style; gypsy swing, jazz gitan, gypsy jazz,
jazz manouche, string swing, or simply the Django music. Our goal is to give
each artist a presentation with biographical info, a photo, a selected discography,
an audio file, and if possible hyperlinks to more info on the web, for instance
the artist's own website. You are welcome to supply the archive with info on
your favourite Hot Club artists, see specifications below.
Enclosed is a wantlist with some
of the artists we would like to receive info about for the archive, and we know
this is just the beginning; many names are still missing. Any contribution will
be most welcomed, especially corrections and additions.
Here are in general terms the info
required for an entry in the encyclopaedia:
- 1. Full name of the artist. If
a group: all members.
- 2. If known: date(s) and place(s)
of birth (and death/burial place).
- 3. Main instrument(s).
- 4. A short biographical outline,
app. 150 - 200 words, preferably in English.
- 5. A photo, preferably in horizontal
format (can be returned if necessary).
- 6. A selected discography (3 -
5 records) with recording year and record numbers.
- 7. Selected info (URL, audio samples,
main interviews, video, press lounge, etc).
- 8. If a contemporary artist: all
booking/contact co-ordinates; address/phone/fax/email.
The name of the author of the biography,
as well as the name of the photographer and/or collector will be given credit
at each entry.
All information handled over to the
archive will be made available to the public, and since the world wide web is
without any copyright protection - make sure all the material is free for publishing.
