 November 27, 2006 | Django Primer
A terrific online read and comprehensive primer on the great gypsy guitar legend and string jazz innovator Django Reinhardt can be found a jazzpartout.com (Jazz Elsewhere). From the French perspective, Django's history is traced, exploring the origin of a revolutionary music "Un jazz sans tambour ni trompette" or "A jazz without drum nor trumpet." The article is a great read, his early influences, caravan fire tragedy, partnership with Stephané Grappelli, the birth of the Hot Club Quintet of France, and his introduction to amplified guitar.
