Our Take

Ah, Django Reinhardt, the man, the myth, the guitar-slinging legend. DJANGO REINHARDT Anthology is a delightful journey through the masterful works of this jazz virtuoso. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky Parisian jazz club in the 1930s, with Django's dazzling guitar skills taking centre stage.

The album kicks off with the iconic "Minor Swing," a toe-tapping, head-bopping number that sets the tone for what's to come. Reinhardt's intricate fretwork is nothing short of mesmerising, showcasing his unparalleled talent and innovation in the world of jazz.

Tracks like "Djangology" and "Nuages" further highlight Reinhardt's unique blend of traditional jazz with gypsy flair. His nimble fingers dance across the strings, creating a sound that is both timeless and strikingly original.

But it's not just Reinhardt's guitar work that shines on this anthology. His collaborations with legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli add an extra layer of magic to songs like "La Mer" and "September Song."

Overall, DJANGO REINHARDT Anthology is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's a testament to Reinhardt's lasting legacy in the music world and a reminder of why he will forever be remembered as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let Django's music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

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.
