Django Reinhardt’s Birthday
Django Reinhardt’s Birthday
Yesterday’s show was inspired by the life and music of Django Reinhardt who was born on January 23rd, 1910. Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist and founder of the Hot Club of France. He was born in Belgium to a Romani family. I played a few covers of his compositions, music from Belgian and Roma traditions, and a few Django-inspired surprises. As always, the full playlist is posted. Below are a couple of videos of songs featured on today’s show.
The North Idaho Hat Band: “Minor Swing”
Aurélia: “Boléro pour Aline”
