    Default Is anyone familiar with Eva Scow as a teacher for gypsy jazz?

    I'm considering going to the Django in June camp this year. I've gone before when Don Stiernberg has been teaching, and he's excellent. Also when Matt Flinner did it online during the pandemic, and Matt is great.
    This year they have Eva Scow teaching, and I've never heard of her. Does anyone have any experience studying with her or know about her teaching style?

    Eva is the absolute best!!! She is the personification of everything that makes a great musician, and any time you're fortunate enough to hear her play, your ears and your soul will be happy and grateful for days. I know this sounds like hyperbole, but it's not. She's been on my radar since she was a kid taking part in a workshop given by Mike Marshall and Edgar Meyer, hosted at Carnegie Hall. She was phenomenal then and she's only gotten better. If you get the chance to study with her, RUN and go sign up - you will not be disappointed!!! Seriously ... stop reading this and go sign up!

    She’s going to be teaching at Red Hot Strings, along with Don Steirnberg.

    Eva Scow, along with Elisa Meyers, are two of the greatest mandolinists on the planet. Make that two of the greatest musicians on the planet...

    Eva can be heard on Grisman's "Tone Poets"... stunning!

    She's another California mandolin treasure. I was in a workshop with her several years back and was amazed by her light touch which reminds me somewhat of Sharon Gilchrist. You will definitely learn something.
