Biography

Belgian jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt was a very poor gypsy who lost the use of two of his fingers in an accidental fire at the age of 18. Despite only being able to use two fingers on the fretboard, he still became one of the most popular jazz performers in Europe through the 1930s. When World War II was declared, he went into hiding in Paris, and was able to survive despite the Nazi… Read more in Amazon's Django Reinhardt Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Django by Year, September 16, 2005
This review is from: Django Reinhardt 1940 1941 (Audio CD)
'Django Reinhardt 1940 - 1941' is one disc in a series of 10 CDs covering seven years of performances, almost entirely with 'Le Quintette du Hot Club de France' in Paris.

My first experience with Django was a rather poorly done vinyl recording which reinforced my impression of his music as the same thing you hear on Truffaut's movie, 'Shoot the Piano Player', where the 'jazz' is a poor imitation of American 1920's club jazz.

Most of the tracks on these records are remarkable for their age, and most feature a full jazz ensemble and not just the gypsy guitarist leader. In fact, the saxes and the coronet seem to be soloing as much or more than the guitar.

Most numbers are instrumentals, with a mix of Reinhardt compositions and American standards, and I believe the quality of the performances equal some of the very best Americans of the same period.
