Song of the Day: Improvisation
#2 features the immortal gypsy jazz guitarist Django
Reinhardt, the centennial of whose birth (on 23 January 1910) we
celebrate. Though well known for his work with the great jazz violinist Stephane
Grappelli in the magnificent swing ensemble, Quintette
du Hot Club de France, this particular track shows off the master
stylist in a solo setting. Check out a YouTube
excerpt, even if the video cuts the last part of the original
recording. Long
live Django! And a belated Happy
New Year to All!
