Music reviews of Spirit of Django

Music Review: it's all that!
Rating: 5 Stars

I can't guarantee you will like this. In fact, if you have preconceived notions of what it "should" sound like, you will likely be disappointed (at first), as I was. I was expecting something much more like Django, and what a surprise it's different! But while it has a more contempory "style" it is nevertheless truly the "spirit" of Django. By that I mean, well, the music is alive with that intangible quality that somehow sounds fresh even after many many listens. A quality that at first makes you like it more and more with each listen, until finally, when you have it practically memorized, it's like a dear old friend that you know and love.

Personally, I like expanding my musical horizons and dream of having some of the BEST music from a wide variety of musical styles: folk, acoustic, blues, jazz, classical, hawaiian, puruvian, african, irish, yada yada yada. And I count this CD as one moving me toward that goal. So, maybe it's your style, maybe it isn't, but it is DEFINITELY GREAT MUSIC!

Why not give it a try. Drop your preconceptions and try ignoring it while playing it in the background say seven times. I'm betting that by the seventh playing, you'll be listening with a smile on your face. Enjoy!
