Django Reinhardt had already established himself as an exceptional and innovative guitarist and regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. His influence can be heard in many genres. Even Willie Nelson has given credit to Django and his unique approach to swing music. His recordings are numerous as he was prolific. He loved to play and as often as possible. These are the best of his electric recordings. Django took a rudimentary approach by sticking a microphone in his guitar, attached to a small amplifier. What an amazing sound he achieved. No modern day guitar can duplicate the sound Django achieved during the years of 1947-1953. Seldom heard, these instrumentals stand the test of time and certainly put Django alongside Charlie Christian as yet another InchGenius of the Electric Guitar.Inch Django Reinhardt is hands down one of the most legendary guitar players in the entire history of jazz.

UK collection. No Jazz Musician can surely ever have expressed themselves more eloquently than Django Reinhardt. The nuances and breathtaking sophistications of his playing style have obvious cinematic potential and Woody Allen and Louis Malle are among the directors who have made use of his music in their films. Stardust Memories was released at the height of Woody Allen's popularity, a controversial film made in the wake of Annie Hall and Manhattan, the triumphs that brought the director global recognition. Django's music is central in a historic Jazz score. Woody has described Stardust Memories as InchThe best film I ever did... The closest I've come to achieving what I set out to achieve. Inch Two decades later Woody Allen would pay tribute to the Jazz guitar with Sweet and Lowdown, a re-working of a project entitled Jazz Baby that he had written, and shelved, thirty years earlier.
