Our Take

It's always a delight when we stumble upon those hidden gems in the vast sea of music history. And Django Reinhardt's "The Last Studio Sessions" is just that - a sparkling jewel waiting to be discovered.

Django, the legendary jazz guitarist, known for his impeccable skills and unique sound, shines brightly on this record. Recorded towards the end of his illustrious career, these sessions capture Django in fine form, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies with his signature flair.

The album kicks off with the infectious energy of "Blues for Ike." Django's nimble fingers dance across the fretboard, while the band keeps a tight groove that will have you tapping your feet in no time. It's a perfect example of Django's masterful blend of swing and virtuosity.

Tracks like "Hungaria" showcase Django's Gypsy roots, with fiery rhythms and soulful melodies that transport you straight to the streets of Paris. And "Folie a Amphion" is a mesmerising ballad that showcases Django's emotive playing at its best.

Overall, "The Last Studio Sessions" is a fitting tribute to Django Reinhardt's legacy.

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.
