A Tribute To Django Reinhadt is a cleverly conceptualized collection to mark the centenary of the legendary gypsy guitarist’s birth. Compiled by Suzie Reinhardt (musician, journalist, granddaughter?), she’s to be commended for taking a less obvious approach than might have been expected. What makes the music of Django Reinhardt so special? Django Reinhardt is worldwide known as one of the best guitar players, because of his virtuosity and spontaneous way of playing – the “biggest improvising guitar player in history”. An exceptional musician, born over 100 years ago, Django Reinhardt learned how to play banjo, violin and guitar (his main instrument) through copying and trying, even though he only had three fingers left on his one hand.
No wonder Django Reinhardt still excites fans all over the world and inspires numerous artists of all cultures. This CD collection shows how many very different musicians Django has influenced.
