As part of our Masters in Mechanics feature on Gypsy jazz & Joscho Stephan, we sat down for a conversation with Dr. Ben Givan about Gypsy jazz and all things Django.

Ben is Associate Professor of Music at Skidmore College and author of "The Music of Django Reinhardt". In the full interview, we talk about his studies of Django's music and it's origins in jazz tradition, Django's musical evolution, the improvisatory vocabulary of Gypsy jazz, challenges in transcribing 200+ Django solos, and more!

If your thirst for musical analysis of Django persists, Ben's book is a great way to learn more! Check that out here: http://www.amazon.com/Music-Django-Reinhardt-Jazz-Perspectives/dp/0472034081
