Django Reinhardt
(49)
This video could well fall into my series of posts on great guitar solos, but I felt a bit of trepidation about that in that I can't positively place the song. I think it's Honeysuckle Rose, but I'm finding my ability to recall various melodies, particularly when such liberties are taken with the melody as we find here, to be something of a failing faculty. So, if I'm wrong on the song, someone, please, correct me. When it comes to Reinhardt's contributions to jazz, it... MORE

I have to thank dimitra for reminding me about this one. Warning: Once this song gets into your head, nothing short of a bottle in front of me ..... I mean a frontal lobotomy will get it out. Here are the lyrics (sort of) so you can sing (or at least lip sync with style) along;

This is such a great tune. Django was incomparable. A sweet song for the end of a long Monday.

I know, you don't have to tell me. My musical tastes are pretty eclectic. Anyway, thisandroidheart added me to her trusted MOG's this evening. Thanks BTW. I believe it was because she saw I had more than a bit of Django Reinhardt in my music collection. That's cool. I mean that's what it all about. I would like to say a bit about me and the gypsy player. I play guitar. I am not great by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, truth be known, the guys I play with real... MORE

The intro guitar solo boggles the mind. And Freddy Taylor's improv scats give the song such a nice, blithe touch. My favorite is "my pretty baby baba booo."

What could be better music for a Sunday than Django Reinhardt? I think the guy wearing a hat and playing cards must be me in a previous incarnation. Yeah, I'm a total Francophile.

Hello!
So... my favorite thing about Django is the fact that he lost parts his fingers on his fretting hand in a fire... and then relearned to play the guitar with this disability... is that CRAZY or what?! (see photo)
He is an absolutely amazing guitarist...
and songwriter!
I also love his song Nuages... it's so wonderful!
Thank you.
