Music Review: A good introduction to Django Reinhardt
Rating: 4 Stars
This cd was enjoyable for a listening session. There are enough familiar tracks ("Paper Moon" and "Pathetique") to pique the interest in the European Jazz of Django Reinhardt.It takes a couple of spins to get to know this album. I had never listened to DR before. The music reminded me of what Don Ho would play on his ukelele during his TV show run. Only when you realize when it was recorded can you appreciate the innovation of his music. Jazz is American in creation. It is also quite rhythmic in tempo. Reinhardt and other Europeans broke that convention with arrythmic variations to their music.
I may be wrong, but, Django's influence can be detected in Led Zeppelin of all places (Jimmy Page using a bow on his guitar!).
All in all if you want to learn about European Jazz this disc is a good place to make a start.
Music Review: Brilliant
Rating: 5 Stars
A classic combination - sounds as revolutionary as it must have when Reinhardt & Grapelli first played these tunes. You'll be mesmerized.
