The violinist is Stephane Grappelli. He and Django formed the Quintette du Hot Club de France and played together from 1934-1948. He was considered the Grandfather of Jazz violinists.
On the guitars... There are two types there. Originally Selmer-Mcafferri guitars, known as Gypsy Jazz gutiars.
The one Django is playing has a small hole and is mainly for lead. The other 2 with D holes are for rhythm.
Those are Europe's answer to the arch top, built for volume before amps.
High action 9/16-13/16"
First cut away body
Long scale
Silk and steel strings
Plywood construction with no fan bracing.
The lead guitar with small hole is forcing more mid and high range out rather than bass, so the power goes to volume.
They are a facinating guitar and they are still available. Originally they were cheap compared to arch tops with a carved top. Lots to read about. a rabbit hole.
There's also the extra thick pick and the method of picking that adds to the sound - often times if you look at a well-used gypsy jazz archtop you'll see the area below the strings is beat to hell. It's a very aggressive method
The style is Manouche gypsy swing jazz ...the violinist with him is the great Stéphane Grappelli.
That comment regarding your aspirations of getting away from layering effects and going to the cleanliness of a nylon string hit home for me. Before the pandemic, I had played in an Atmospheric Metal / "Blackgaze" band for many years. When I all of a sudden didn't have a band thanks to COVID, I went to Classical guitar. It was really hard at first, being so used to creating lush soundscapes. But after a couple years I finally jammed with a band again and saw how much my playing had progressed. If that is something you aspire to, I'd just jump in and do it. Devote serious time to learning Classical before branching out. You'll thank yourself for the effort in the end.
Django could only use two fingers on his fretting hand due to a childhood injury.
BTW-this is called "Gypsy Jazz"
Not à childhood injury ! He Was in a incendie when he was 18
His full story is amazing. His life was very tough and he lived for his music. I have a set of most of his recordings and he can just fly on the guitar. The set up with only 3 instruments is also very interesting.
....you should check out the guy considered to be the first guitar hero: Charlie Christian. He was the guitarist for Duke Ellington's band in the 1930's and sadly, died of tuberculosis while still in his 20's....
He also played for Benny Goodman..
When I was in college, my guitar teacher introduced me to Django. This was my lesson into Gypsy Guitar. Love it!
This was recorded in1939. It was maybe released in 1945 (the year I was born). There is other footage playing different songs in this exact configuration. The footage is the same but the song are different.
Hard to believe he did that with just two fingers (his fretting hand was severely burned in 1928). When I think of jazz guitarists I think of *Geroge Benson, John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Tuck and Patti, Stanley Jordan (he plays finger tap style like a jazzed up Eddie Van Halen) and Pat Metheny* I don't think you could wrong with these guys. Oh for other inspiration check out *Prince" the Song *Shhhh Live* here's a link th-cam.com/video/FTHgCARkM_8/w-d-xo.html I hope you react to it you may find yourself pleasantly surprised *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all !!*
Those guitars were Selmer-Maccaferri guitars. The 2 rhythm guitarists had the model with the big D soundhole and I believe an inner chamber. Django's model had the small oval soundhole and no chamber. There are many companies producing copies of these guitars today. Mainly due to the cult-like popularity of "gypsy-jazz", soley based around Django and his style of playing. If you're going chronologically through jazz guitarists you should review Charlie Christian next. He defined what became American jazz guitar for all that followed.
I developed a style of playing with index and middle finger on fretting hand. I call it Django Style. It changes my playing and helps with cramping in relieving 2 fingers. When I play Django style I am a much more melodic player. Django, Charlie, Wes, Jimi...Stephan Grapelli on violin.
He inspired Tony Ioma (Black Sabbath) to keep playing after Tony lost his fingertips 👍
iommi*
You gotta check out Stéphane Wrembel “Bistro Fada”, it’s on the “Midnight in Paris” soundtrack. One of my top 5 favorite movie soundtracks.
When I was a young girl I was friends with Rosie Reinhardt, a niece to Django. His style is called Gypsie Jazz, but of course nowadays, I am not sure if you are allowed to say it! Another famous Reinhardt is Nuckenschnack Reinhardt! Some members of the family where killed in Concentration camps of Hitler.
The pc versions Jazz Manouche... Bur literally wvery gypsy jazz player I know calls it gypsy jazz, and proudly so
Historic brilliance .
Undeniable mastery .
Django was in a fire when he was a teen and he lost the use of his ring and pinky fingers on his fretting hand - watch his hands - he plays almost everything with two fingers.
The great jazz guitarists, and there are quite a few, are of course Django, Grant Green, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery (try him next), Joe Pass (his knowledge of harmonics and chord substitutions will leave you breathless), Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessell, and Jim Hall. Today's best jazz guitarist is Pasquale Grasso, and if you look on TH-cam you can see how this guy does it. His fingering is really amazing, he is just so inventive, clean, and precise. He really understands the bebop language, and his substitutions and harmonic knowledge is incredible. Be warned, he'll want to make you want to try another profession. Jazz is about communicating, having a conversation with the other members of your band.
Some of the best jazz musicians play a motif then play variations around that motif through the many chord and time signature changes. I saw one of the great saxophone players of Joe Lovano a few months ago, and his ability to do this on the fly is perhaps the best today. I also saw saxophonist Chris Potter last week and, although a beast and a phenomenal improvisor as well, also really understands the melody and every solo is informed by that melody through his many variations. Sometimes players just want to blow, but even then, they never lose sight of what the other players are communicating.
you know willie Nelson idolizes Django Reinhardt and not only learned to play listening to him he also patterns his guitar playing after the Jazz legend.
Believe I read or heard somewhere that he inspired the way Willie Nelson plays guitar
if you are a serious guitar player. You have got to be jawdropped by the speed and control of that blistering run
the big hole is called a Gran Bouche, i have a pretty much exact version of that guitar, they sound like no other type of acoustic, kinda thin sound but also with a booming sound. those style of guitars are often referred to as selmer-macaferri's because those were the orignal makers but sometimes are referred to as gypsy jazz style guitar
Look up a TH-cam video with Tommy Emmanuel and Joscho Stephan playing "If I Had You"; simply amazing.
This is Gypsy Jazz from French origin check out Adrien Moignard and Gonsalo Bergaro playing Djangos Tiger done 9 years ago. Fantastic guitar playing quite amazing with two of the best young Gypsy Jazz guitarists of current times .Truly great guitar playing following in Djangos footsteps by these two guitar players...
I have Gitane copies of both types of those guitars
Other great jazz guitarist would include Joe Pass, Jim Hall, West Mongomery, Kenny Burrell, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, John Mclaughlin, Allan Holdsworth etc etc...
I would add Al DiMeola.
@@rorystorm4284 and Sylvain Luc
If you want to get a pretty accurate French pronounciation of Django's last name, it's "reign-heart" with a silent "h". But it's not really a typical French name, so...
The title of this theme is "J'attendrai" (I'll wait), a 1938 song that has become a standard. Its first interpret is Rina Ketty :

Django and his bandmates used Selmer guitars (the legendary French brass instruments brand), more precisely the specifically developped jazz model E.964.5.1 (IDK why jazz guitars always have registration plate names to the contrary of rock guitars, but in this case they got the "5.1" right because of its tonality and spatialization!). You can still find this kind of model in a limited number of shops under the name Maccaferri.
When Django was invited by Duke Ellington on an American tour with him after WWII, he forgot his guitar once just before a concert and borrowed an electric guitar to one of Duke's musicians. And even if he never had an elctric guitar in his hands he killed it on stage. Back to France, he was so enthralled by this new perspective he "electified" an acoustic guitar :
th-cam.com/video/7uc4KmAioJ4/w-d-xo.html
I'm pretty sure he would have embraced the use of effect pedals too...
Would love to see you react to Lenny Breau. One of the greatest jazz guitarists ever who happened to come from a country background
The music of Django Reinhardt and Stephanie Grappeli (the violinist) was highly influenced by the recordings of Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, whose late 20s Okeh sides are legendary. One example Venuti-Lang recording out of many is th-cam.com/video/0-LI4ZBj3hw/w-d-xo.html -- Eddie Lang's guitar is more accompanying, but he shines through at spots.
Thanks for mentioning his violinist of so many years. Added a lot to his recordings.
If you noticed Django played with 3 fingers because of a accident as a child. The band The hot club D'France was the hottest thing in Paris you ain't seen nothing in jazz guitarists if you aren't listening to Joe Pass. Try Cherokee
Django had two fingers inoperative on his lwft hand.
John McLoghlin, Bert Yanch, Taj Mahal, Jeff Beck, Mark Knofler.Alan Holdsworth. Ali Farka Touri.
Crossroads, Machine Gun, Minor Swing.
Another Venuti-Lang with some solo work by guitarist Eddie Lang: th-cam.com/video/D3eANSL1fjk/w-d-xo.html
you might like to take a look at Homesick James and The Aces
Actors studio and an oscar for you because a guitariste who has never heard Django does not exist...very funny
Willie Nelson's favorite guitarist
If you want to hear some modern day guitar players who play this Gypsy Jazz style, check out Bireli Lagrene, Angelo Debarre, Joscho Stephan and Stochelo Rosenberg.
And John Jorgenson.
@@michaelnordan8603 I have some of the CDs he did with Jimmy Rosenberg, another excellent Gypsy style guitarist. I also like Robin Nolan.
@@alberthaust4542 Love Robin's take on "Tainted Love": th-cam.com/video/7E6RU69tWJY/w-d-xo.html
Hell yes good stuff lots of great names below would just add Al Di Meola
Rabbit hole, not worm hole...
The greatest Jazz guitarist was and is Joe Pass. Try"Cherokee" by Joe Pass
Try Al Dimeola with Paco delucia - th-cam.com/video/C97H_HvBjPA/w-d-xo.html
As previously stated, Django was a big influence for Willie Nelson. Willie believed Django was the GOAT of guitarist in his opinion.
A lot of inverted chords.
"In 1928, at 18, Belgian gypsy musician Django Reinhardt lost the use of the third and fourth fingers of his left hand in a caravan fire, forcing him to abandon both the violin and banjo and concentrate on the guitar, playing solos with only his index and second finger."
