| | Django Reinhardt |
 | | As for Django, his cross-cultural improvisations on the guitar astounded listeners. | | | Django was also a gifted composer, actually composing music for symphony orchestra by playing all the parts on guitar! | | | Although Django never gained immense popularity on this side of the ocean during his lifetime, new generations of listeners and, particularly guitarists, have consistently turned to his recordings out of admiration and for inspiration. |

| | Django: King of Gypsy Swing |
| | Together, in 1934, Django and Stephane Grappelli formed the Quintette of the Hot Club of France, a radically different kind of jazz band based on guitar and violin instead of the usual brass and percussion instruments heard in jazz bands of the day. | | | Our show this week celebrates the music of Django Reinhardt with a special concert featuring our guest band, The Quintet of the Hot Club of San Francisco, led by guitarist Paul Mehling (right). | | | Together Grappelli and Reinhardt changed the way people thought about how the guitar and violin could be used in Jazz. |

| | Django Reinhardt |
| | In 1946, Reinhardt took up the electric guitar and toured America as a soloist with the Duke Ellington band but his appearances were poorly received. | | | Some of his recordings on electric guitar late in his life are bop escapades where his playing sounds frantic and jagged, a world apart from the jubilant swing of old. | | | Yet Reinhardt came up with a unique way of propelling the humble acoustic guitar into the front line of a jazz combo in the days before amplification became widespread. |

| | Django Reinhardt: Nuages - Liner Notes |
| | Django was and is an innovator, genius and a guitarist to be admired well into the twenty first century. | | | The association of Django and Grappelli was one of the most influential forces in the history of swing music, with Grappelli being an important factor in the Hot Club sound. | | | It was and is a common practice for two to four guitarists, bass and violin to play as a unit. |

| | Django's music will live forever, regardless of sound quality, but it's wonderful to finally have all of his music collected together and treated with the sonic dignity that it deserves. | | | Django also goes solo on two tracks, giving the listener another chance to listen carefully to his technique. | | | Reinhardt's guitar work is spirited and adventurous throughout--lightning-quick runs, insistent rhythm work, and hybrid "riffs" that seem to split the difference. |

The Quintet is definitive in the same way as Charlie Christian's recordings with Benny Goodman. |
