Grammy winner Stephane Wrembel was just amazing and so was Simba Baumgartner who joined him from France, and who continues Reinhardt's legacy. The 2 hour concert (no intermission) seemed to be actually short. 'Ochi Chornyie' was the final selection and was going, like most of the other tunes, many directions, tempos, and rhythms. All the way to stratosphere and back.
The NYC and French band featured Stephane Wrembel and Josh Kaye on guitars, Ari Folman Cohen on bass and Nick Anderson on drums, Simba Baumgartner on guitar (Django Reinhardtâs great grandson), and Aurore VoilquĂ© on violin. Each of them a bright star on jazz sky. Baumgartner is a regular at âTaverne de Cluny Monkâ, in Paris. I love all the great guitar players we have in Toronto. Some of the best were actually in the audience at this concert.

One of André Langer idols is guitarist Stephane Wrembel. André is first to admit, that he is not at the same level, but his trio provided wonderful entertainment. A little neighborhood café Coffice, hosts Saturday night gypsy jazz featuring Trio Andre and friends playing all the Django, Fats or other jazz classics. I've talked to Langer about the concert with Wrembel in Toronto. He has seen the same concert on line. Coffice is a venue for variety of music and meeting place for small Argentinian community in Prague. The place filled up quickly, even the second room, where you do not see the band. With Guitar - André Langer (Czech), Double bass - Guillermo Acosta (Argentina) Guitar - Alexander Glize (France) and clarinet Jan Lonek (Czech).

There are 3 Schmitts in this group of interpreters of Django Reinhardt music. Dorado, the elder, is legendary with his violin and guitar playing and his sons Samson and Amati are no slouches either. There are not too many jazz harpists, but if they were, Edmar Castaneda would still be probably the best.
Gino Roman- bass, Peter Beets-piano and Franco Mehrstein- rhythm guitar kept the high standard of the musicianship up. The photo is more a memory of the concert rather then a quality photograph, as in Koerner Hall, they frown on anyone taking photos, so these have to be taken clandestinely. The distance from cheaper seats and the lighting reduces the chances to take quality photos to me.

day six:
greetings from pont du gard, the second largest, still existing roman structure in the world.
staggering to see and to realize the genius of the romans. they might not have been very nice, but they sure were smart.
spent the day here and then wandering the streets of uzés where we happened upon an amazing street market ... and where i consequently took about a thousand photos.
we are officially in the relaxed, don't have to be anywhere at any time portion of the trip and i couldn't be happier about that. again, this b&b is incredible and i could spend all of my time just lying around looking at the views if i didn't need to eat!
for the curious, yes - that is me in the picture. i'm sure you are doubting that this is a true self portrait, but i promise you, i did set up the shot... not the easiest photo in the world.
hope you enjoy!

Django Reinhardt, the great French gypsy jazz guitarist.
With a smoke in his mouth and his knarly disfigured chording hand.
Did not realize I had to mirror the image on the block - so this is backwards.
Wow, this was a lot of work - and results are inconsistent print to print but I like it.
Need smoother, less absorbent card stock for this, this paper is too absorbent.

Caption from Down Beat: The serious countenance of Django Reinhardt, cover subject by Bill Gottlieb for this issue, is in deference to the great French guitarist's current concert tour with Duke Ellington. Django, who has built a tremendous American reputation through his waxings with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, was brought from Europe last month by the William Morris Agency, and one of his first concerts in this country was the Beat's Chicago Civic Opera House concert earlier this month. He will appear with Ellington Nov. 23-24 at Carnegie Hall.

I was contacted by the nice folks over at Haute Cuisine to make a mural in their gallery shop, located in Leuven ( Belgium ).
For the first time I painted my musical hero Django Reinhardt. Fun & memorable times !
This mural has a soundtrack:
every year I visit several DJANGO REINHARDT Festivals in France, Belgium, Germany, and The Netherlands; I am not only attracted by the music, but it's also the lifestyle, the laziness, the laid-back mood, the irony, the steady solidarity, the consistency of the community, making their persistent homages to the great Swing guitarist Django Reinhardt...

I played "Georgia on my mind" faster as usual, inspired by the great Gypsy Swing Jazz musician Django Reinhardt - and actually inspired by the fact, that the French President Hollande is deporting Gypsies out of his land - an act of racism I think ... for more comments: my wordpress blog: flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/georgia-gypsy-ver...

Gipsy guitarist Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) was one of the first prominent European jazz musicians. His fret hand was severely burned and disfigured which caused his unique style of playing. He performed with such greats as Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, and also had his own band, the Quintette du Hot Club de France, which he had co-founded with violinist Stéphane Grappelli. Django has been portrayed in several films, even as a cartoon character and his music graces the soundtracks of many films, especially those of Woody Allen.
Jean Baptiste Reinhardt was born into a troupe of gipsies in Liberchies, Belgium, in 1910. He was the son of a travelling entertainer and the brother of guitarist Joseph Reinhardt. From the age of 8, he lived with his mother in Romani (Gypsy) settlements close to Paris. Reinhardt's nickname âDjangoâ is Romani for âI awake.â There he started with playing the violin and eventually moved on to a banjo-guitar that a neighbour had given him. From the age of 12 he played professionally at Bal-musette halls in Paris. His first known recordings (in 1928) were of him playing the banjo with accordionist Jean Vaissade for the Ideal Company. That year, the 18 year old Reinhardt was injured in a fire that ravaged the caravan he shared with Florine âBellaâ Mayer, his first wife. The caravan was filled with celluloid flowers his wife had made to sell at the market on the following day. At one o'clock in the morning Django returned from a performance at the club La Java. Upon hearing a mouse among the flowers, he bent down with a candle to look. The wick from the candle fell into the highly flammable celluloid flowers and the caravan was transformed into a raging inferno. Somehow he and his wife made it across the blazing room to safety outside, but his right leg was paralyzed and the third and fourth fingers of his left hand were badly burned. A doctor intended to amputate his leg, but Reinhardt refused to have the surgery and was bedridden for eighteen months. His brother Joseph bought Django a new guitar. With rehabilitation and practice he relearned his craft in a completely new way. He created a whole new fingering system built around the two fingers on his left hand that had full mobility. His fourth and fifth digits of the left hand were permanently curled towards the palm due to the tendons shrinking from the heat of the fire. He could use them on the first two strings of the guitar for chords and octaves but complete extension of these fingers was impossible. In 1931 the painter Emile Savitry let him hear the records of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, and Django decided to look out for French jazz musicians.
In 1934, Django Reinhardt and Parisian violinist StĂ©phane Grappelli formed the Quintette du Hot Club de France with Reinhardt's brother Joseph and Roger Chaput on guitar, and Louis Vola on bass. A small record company Ultraphone recorded their first sides Dinah, Tiger Rag, Oh Lady be Good, and I Saw Stars. These first records caused a sensation. The group went on to record hundreds of sides and had a following on both sides of the ocean. The quintet was one of the few well-known jazz ensembles composed only of string instruments. At the time, the great majority of recordings featured a wide variety of horns, often in multiples, piano, etc. In the years before World War II the group gained considerable renown, and Reinhardt became an international celebrity. He appeared throughout Europe and recorded with many important American jazz musicians such as Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, and did a jam-session and radio performance with Louis Armstrong. Reinhardt could neither read nor write music, and was barely literate, but StĂ©phane took the band's downtime to teach him. When World War II broke out, the original quintet was on tour in the United Kingdom. Reinhardt returned to Paris at once, leaving his wife behind. In 1929, Django's estranged wife Florine gave birth to a son named Henri âLoussonâ Reinhardt. Grappelli remained in the United Kingdom for the duration of the war. Reinhardt reformed the quintet, with Hubert Rostaing on clarinet replacing Grappelli's violin. In 1943, Django married Sophie Ziegler in Salbris, with whom he had a son, Babik Reinhardt, who became a respected guitarist in his own right. Reinhardt survived the war unscathed, unlike the many Romanis who perished in the Porajmos, the Nazi regime's systematic murder of several hundred thousand European Romanis. He apparently enjoyed the protection of the Luftwaffe officer Dietrich Schulz-Köhn, nicknamed âDoktor Jazzâ, who deeply admired his music.
After the war, Django Reinhardt rejoined StĂ©phane Grappelli in the UK, and then went on in fall 1946 to tour the United States as a special guest soloist with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, playing two nights at Carnegie Hall. He also became interested in composition and, with Andre Hodeir, arranged the music for the film Le Village de la Colere (1946). After returning to France, Reinhardt spent the remainder of his days re-immersed in Romani life, having found it difficult to adjust to the modern world. He would sometimes show up for concerts without a guitar or amp, or wander off to the park or beach, and on a few occasions he refused even to get out of bed. Reinhardt was known by his band, fans, and managers to be extremely unpredictable. He would often skip sold-out concerts to simply "walk to the beach" or "smell the dew". However, he did continue to compose and is still regarded as one of the most advanced jazz guitarists to ever play the instrument. Although his experience in the US left him influenced greatly by American jazz, making him a different player from the man Grappelli had known, on this recording Reinhardt switched back to his old roots, once again playing the acoustic Selmer-Maccaferri. In 1951, he retired to Samois-sur-Seine, near Fontainebleau, where he lived until his death. He continued to play in Paris jazz clubs and finally came to terms with the electric guitar. His final recordings made in the last few months of his life show him moving in a new musical direction and are perhaps the most profound he or any other jazz guitarist ever made. He had assimilated the vocabulary of bebop and fused it with his own melodic genius. His last recording of Nuages from these sessions is his greatest and from the same session in Manoir de mes Revesâ he distills in a couple of minutes an unrivaled beauty and pathos. In 1953, he was also seen in the cinemas in the film Saluti e baci/The Road to Happiness (1953, Maurice Labro, Giorgio Simonelli) with Philippe Lemaire. That year Django Reinhardt suddenly collapsed outside his house from a brain hemorrhage. It took a full day for a doctor to arrive and Reinhardt was declared dead on arrival at the hospital in Fontainebleau. He was only 43. After his death, the documentary Django Reinhardt (1957, Paul Paviot) was made which includes an introduction by Jean Cocteau and features music performed by Grappelli, Rostaing, and Joseph Reinhardt. Since then Django has been portrayed in several films. His legacy dominates Sweet and Lowdown (1999, Woody Allen). This spoof biopic focuses on fictional American guitarist Emmet Ray's (Sean Penn) obsession with Reinhardt. Django returned as a cartoon in the opening sequence of the animation film Les Triplettes de Belleville/The Triplets of Belleville (2003, Sylvain Chomet). The third and fourth fingers of the cartoon Reinhardt are considerably smaller than the fingers used to play the guitar. Reinhardt's music has been used in the soundtrack of many films, including Lacombe Lucien (1974, Louis Malle), Gattaca (1997, Andrew Niccol), The Matrix; (1999, Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski) and The Aviator (2004, Martin Scorsese).
