Django Reinhardt! I'm in the mood for Minor Swing today |
|
Seriously, I've had this tune in my head for a week now. There's a live cut of Django with Stephane Grappelli live at the North Sea Jazz Festival, back in the 30s or so, that will BLOW. YOUR. MIND.
Love that Gypsy Jazz!!!!!

It's just a bunch of photos of Django with the music running over it. No big deal. I just figured I'd post something for those who don't know Django but would like to know what you're talking about.

5. The amazing two-finger solos!! |
|
Django burned his hand badly as a child and consequently played most of his incredible, dazzling stuff with TWO. FINGERS.
Holy cow!

Did you see The Triplets of Belleville with the Django character? Plus Josephine Baker... I love the opening to that one.

Always good to hear some of their melifluous sounds. Thanks, Bake.
