New: a Django biography
Released in November 2004 there is finally
an excellent Django biography entitled Django:
The Life and Music of a Gypsy. Beside that, we have a few
Django Reinhardt tab book noted below.
Django Reinhardt's guitar playing
is innovative,
creative and graceful. His notes seem to glide and float in melodic
fashion giving his music a joyous, thrilling, hypnotic sound. He
accomplished his feats whether playing blues or jazz, swing or
ragtime, gypsy or bop. He graced and electrified us delightfully,
first with his acoustic guitar and then later in his electric guitar
phase. This one of a kind musician yielded one of the most
addictive sounds. Be warned that once you start listening to
Django's fluid, catchy phases, you'll want to hear every magical
note.
That is why we like his music so much. We
have additional information about Django in our Guitar
Greats,
and
in our Jazz: Guitar and Piano
sections. The links below include a chronological listing of the Django
sessions with tracks and band members, and some of the better CD's available.
