Two hundred musicians from around the world are in Northampton this week for lessons and jamming at Django Camp, part of the city’s annual Django in June event. Camp is five days of intensive guitar technique, and late night jams, and concerts embodying the compositions and unique rhythmic style of the French jazz guitarist Django Rheinhart.
