Our Take

Django Reinhardt, the king of hot jazz guitar, swings back onto the scene with his latest album "Swing De Paris". A mix of old-school charm and modern flair, this album will make you want to grab your dancing shoes and hit the nearest speakeasy.

Reinhardt's playful guitar melodies are front and centre, weaving intricate solos that will have you tapping your feet in no time. His bandmates keep up the pace, with driving rhythms and lively piano fills that add depth to each track.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Minor Swing", with its catchy hook and dazzling guitar work, and the sultry "Daphne", which evokes a smoky Parisian nightclub in the 1930s. Reinhardt's virtuoso playing shines brightest on the instrumental tracks, where he effortlessly combines bebop and swing influences.

The album's production is top-notch, capturing the energy and spontaneity of a live performance. Each instrument is crystal clear, allowing the listener to appreciate the skill and chemistry of the band.

"Swing De Paris" may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a delightful listen that showcases Reinhardt's timeless talent. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a swing in your step. Django Reinhardt proves, once again, that he's the undisputed master of hot jazz guitar. So grab a glass of absinthe, put on your beret, and let the music transport you to the streets of Paris.

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.
