Dude...We are in 2024 and as a modest guitarist for Grand Royal Tokyo, I was searching some CBS sessions recording where S. Grappelli and him had a fight because I am reading "Django" by Michael Dregni, I felt on these song and the first notes recorded here are just blowing my mind...Musicality. Dexterity added with this "je ne sais quoi" of insanity...! Thank you !

I love that piano's left hand

Le grand Django.. inégalé

That is DJANGO on violin on the 2nd song BLUES MINEUR -

Also, a lot of people don't know that Stéphane Grappelli's first instrument was the piano. I saw and heard him play both instruments in concert way back in another century and, believe it or not, he was just as great on the 88's as he was on the violin.

Great thanks

Great feel

Beautiful . . .

Great music/musicians. Thank you. M. Reinhardt looks very much younger without his moustache!

I always have an ear to music and what might be coming out there. All I can say is not much headed our way that can match Django's era. Believe me, I'm hungry for it and it just isn't out there.

Django is never mentioned in the greatest ever guitarist polls. But you can bet your bottom dollar well into the future all today's guitar gods will be forgotten and their will be a new bunch of guitar heroes. But Django will still be relevant he was just to good to be forgotten

Wonderful.

Excellent masterpiece

Great video with fantastic notes. THANK YOU!

Quf gusto poder escucharlo,gracias!

Django was not only a genius for his music but also for avoiding the Nazi round ups of Romani. Shame he didn't live longer

Excellent! On entend Django jouer un peu plus sur la durée car les enregistrements de cette époque avaient un format très court - dans les trois minutes environ - ce qui est parfois frustrant bien que Django fusse parfait dans le temps qui lui était imparti. Je rêve d'un enregistrement qui lui donnerait le temps de développer son jeu afin qu'il donne toute sa mesure de virtuose ! En attendant force est de constater qu'il ne manque aucune note et qu'aucune note n'est de trop ce qui est l'apanage d'un musicien accompli ! Essaillez de jouer ses solos avec vos quatre doigts et vous comprendrez alors le caractère quasi miraculeux de son jeu !

Consider the possibility that he might have been a less interesting player had the accident never happened! While he was still a capable rhythm player after the accident, and did do sessions as a rhythm guitarist, I can imagine that by concentrating on melody and solo lines that he could play with (mostly) two fingers helped his melodic genius flower. You think about the fret board differently when you approach it like a violin or bass player.

@@jesusonazareth4752 It is more than just focus on the melodies. The guitar is a box framed instrument by nature. Most every guitarist plays across the fret board. It is hard to break away from horizontal approach to the fret board. By necessity, Django had to learn the fret board vertically allowing him to go anywhere his genius led him. That's why he plays with an absolutely seamless flow, no unintended jumps from one form to another. I really do not think he would have developed this extraordinary versatility if he had the use of all his fingers. I took a summer workshop at Eastman School of Music with Gene Bertoncini many years ago where he urged us to learn every scale and every arpeggio on each string individually to give total freedom in all directions. I'm still working on it 40 years later!

Parler sans cesse de Django comme le "père du jazz manouche", c'est le réduire à une dimension ridicule. Django n'est pas le musicien d'une communauté, il est un électron libre dont la carrière finalement courte montre une capacité d'évolution fulgurante. De tous les musuciens de jazz français d'avant guerre, il est le seul à avoir compris l'importance du bebop. Dès le début, son phrasé était celui du jazz. Et il faut écouter ses derniers enregistrements pour comprendre le chemin qu'il a parcouru. Django était un musicien de jazz, chez qui la virtuosité était au service de la musique, ce qui est en général le contraire chez la plupart des guitaristes manouches...

I'm not a WWII expert, but apparently Belgium was also occupied along with France, and the Nazi's, despite, their general hostility towards Roma people, did not give Django a hard time. In fact, his most commercially successful years, his years of greatest fame, were his wartime years in France (according to the Michael Dregni biography of Django). He supposedly played for Nazi officers in person. That doesn't mean the border guards all loved him too, but, long story short, he apparently was able to travel to Belgium.

@@zenobardot He lost many Sinti relatives when Vichy (Nazi) France allowed the same BS that was going on in Germany. They didn't touch him because he was already popular with officers and enlisted in the Wehrmacht who loved Jazz and Django "was" European Jazz. Himmler tried to foment hate for Jazz but it was too late in most of "hip" Europe. Guards knew who he was as he would evade trouble by simply telling them. He tried to escape twice his double life under the Nazi's but was caught at the border.

@@martshankleman Yeah I read the same. I think he made a couple escape attempts early in the war before he realized he'd be ok due to his popularity. WW2 was his best earnings and Nuage became the "national anthem" when the Marselleise was banned. There is a famous picture of him, a Nazi officer, and 2 black musicians in occupied Paris. The picture looks me like all of them giving resistance to Goebbels anti jazz, anti black, anti gypsy policies. It's suggested, by some who study the history, that the Nazi officer pictured provided some kind of protection for Django. Also suggested that he repeatedly ignored "invitations" to perform in Germany.
