Django Reinhardt
Django was born in Belgium to gypsy parents in 1910. He grew up with one foot in gypsy culture and two ears in Paris. Some people say he was the best guitarist that ever lived. I don't even know what that means, but clearly his fingers could dance the frets with remarkable acumen. He died when he was only 43.
I suggest this track for your next soirée or BBQ.

Love's Melody! Also - I'll See You in My Dreams and Django's Tiger. I like the best of that came out on Blue Note. I also like the Verve Jazz Masters release. KatherinePosted by: lanky14 at June 10, 2005 08:31 PM
