BTW, I knew nothing of Django Reinhardt until a few days ago when I read an article about his renewed popularity in Paris and read another of his bio.

Check out the Rhythm Future Quartet.

Here is “Minor Swing”.

Guitarist Ollie Soikkeli is an awesome DR heir. Violin does Graphelli well also.

More impressive is that Django lost the use of two fingers of his left hand when he was caught in a fire and severely burnt that hand.

I have a CD by him. First time I heard his name was in the movie “Sweet and Lowdown” -

Django was the best! He, Bix, Rollini, etc. are all but forgotten today. Most “jazz” fans are pikers. Thanks for calling out the real thing.
