Our Take

Django Reinhardt, the legendary jazz guitarist, takes a departure from his usual swingin' sound and delves into the world of blues in his latest album "Django Reinhardt Plays The Blues." And let me tell you, this ain't your grandma's blues record.

From the opening track, Django's signature speedy guitar licks take on a whole new level of grit and soul. The way he weaves in and out of the blues scale will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in no time. It's like he's taking you on a journey through the smoky bars of New Orleans, the cotton fields of Mississippi, and the back alleys of Chicago all in one sitting.

The album is a true showcase of Django's unmatched skill and versatility as a musician. His ability to effortlessly switch between genres is nothing short of awe-inspiring. And don't even get me started on the backing band - they bring a whole new level of energy and depth to Django's sound.

But what really sets this album apart is Django's infectious energy and charisma. It's like he's in the room with you, telling you a story through his guitar strings. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Django Reinhardt take you on a wild ride through the blues. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Django Reinhardt

Hailing from Belgium, Django Reinhardt is a pioneering figure in the world of jazz music. His unique blend of swing and gypsy influences has captivated audiences around the globe, earning him a reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists of the 20th century. Reinhardt's signature style, characterized by blistering fast solos and intricate chord progressions, was a far cry from the traditional jazz sound of his time. Despite being severely injured in a fire that left him with only the use of two fingers on his left hand, Reinhardt defied the odds and continued to play with unparalleled skill and dexterity. With his Hot Club of France recordings, Reinhardt helped popularize the concept of "hot" jazz, a style that emphasized improvisation and virtuosity. His collaborations with violinist Stéphane Grappelli produced some of the most iconic jazz recordings of the era, showcasing Reinhardt's unmatched ability to fuse tradition with innovation. Reinhardt's influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians, from rock legends like Jimi Hendrix to contemporary jazz artists like John Scofield. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography, which continues to inspire and amaze listeners to this day. So, whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just a casual music fan looking to expand your horizons, Django Reinhardt's timeless recordings are a must-listen for anyone with an ear for innovation and passion in music. Sit back, relax, and let the magic of Django's guitar take you on a journey through the rich history of jazz.
