I like Reinhardt's playing, what's interesting is despite his skill in being able to solo like a boss, he clearly valued the silence as well. He didn't overplay and he left pauses to create just a little tension that threw the listener into the next phrase.
One of the most perfectly constructed guitar performances ever recorded. The way he varies the length and rhythm of his phrases is remarkably effective. He doesn’t just string together a series of arpeggios to show off his virtuosity as so many guitarists do today. The gradual build up of excitement and tension is masterfully done. I especially like the sliding phrase at 1:30, so unexpected yet it fits beautifully in the overall design of the solo.
Was brought up listening to Django and The Hot Club on the wind up gramophone (along with so many others). It is good to hear comments on his playing from a fellow musician, never having learned any instrument> Thank you.... Although i never played an instrument I used to work ( as a hobby) with a fair few traditional musicians and put little bands together. One East End (of London) fiddler I knew had met The Quintet in a cafe and jammed along with them... well, if not he whole Quintet Reinhardt and Grapelli.
Yes and throughout all his variations you can still hear the melody - he's not just blending with the chord progressions to be flashy he still respects the tune.
i am 62 yo and first heard django at 19 = always liked his music with stephan grapellie - now i work at the victorian jazz museum and music has been a mighty motivational drive for me = thank you django for a very colourful life with music !
How is it possible walk into a recording studio and play this off the cuff its a perfect statement not a note could be added or taken out to make it any better pure genius no guitarist can do this
This is where Jazz guitar began. Django was the most innovative guitarist of his time. Despite having only two functional fingers on his left hand (guitar neck side) he produced some amazing music. He wasn't with us for very long so its good to listen to his recordings that date to the 1930's
@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsmHate to be that guy, but Jazz DID start rearing it’s head in the US around the 1890’s to 1910’s with Dixieland Jazz coming about.
I cannot explain how much I adore this piece of music! I would literally tear a bollock off to have seen him play this or indeed be able to play it myself.
Les solos de Django ont l'évidence d'une composition instantanée ! Il n'y a dans la plupart des cas rien à jeter et en tant que guitariste ou simplement en tant que musicien et mélomane on peut dire qu'il s'agit là d'un exemple parfait de la différence entre la virtuosité d'apparat et la virtuosité réelle qui n'a besoin d'aucune esbrouffe pour s'imposer. Et en plus, cette musique exhale la joie et n'a rien perdu de sa jeunesse après tant d'années et Django a laissé derrière lui un sillage de virtuoses qui tous, reconnaissent leur dette envers ce maître. C'est ainsi que nous pouvons mettre Django dans le panthéon des plus grands musiciens de l'histoire à l'instar de Ravel et Debussy ou Satie.
There really is a place beyond beauty and this fellow owned the key . He only had two fully operational fingers on his fret hand , which really echoes his mastery .I heard him and Grapelli play when I was young and have been mesmerised ever since.
It's like Buddy Rich there is no debate or dispute they're just the best there ever was, they shine like diamonds forever. Nobody comes close the Django.
It's really amazing that after all these years since Django lived and recorded his great music---- he is still the Greatest. In my opinion he's still the most unique and musically gifted, the most admired, the most revered and beloved guitarist of all time. His influence has been enormous. Every great guitarist of the past and present----- in Europe, America and around the world right up to this very day----- has been inspired by Django. He was truly a phenemenon.
What a genius this man was, I discovered Django Reinhardt when my father told me about him years ago when I asked him what is good music to be listened. I still can't stop listening Djangos pieces.
Really one of my Django favorites . Actually, lots of tongue in cheek in this piece, and from precedents, one cannot totally rule out him being slightly drunk when recording this !
After many years, I consider it still as Django’s magnum opus. I sometimes Imagine Charlie Christian following Django after this solo on a jam session, what I’d give to hear such a thing.
Every one of django's solo's is a perfect musical statement its like he's telling a story most jazz guitarists just disappear up they'r own arse's when they play a solo
When my guitar teacher wanted to scare me away from playing too fast too soon, he had me listen to Django so I would realize what true speed with FEEEELing meant. 52 years later I still find there is that perfection which is attainable by mere mortals.
The 2023 edition of the Tour d France is on TV for the next 3 weeks. I will watch at least 2 stages with the commentary turned off, and Jango blasting away on my headphones, as pretty French villages, bathed in hot July sun come and go. For me it's a pleasure to listen to Jango, but more so when we travel together!! RIP MON AMIE.
Django Reinhardt was indeed a masterful guitarist. But the big problem with "gypsy jazz" was that too many of its followers after Django forgot the swing of real jazz! That was a12/8 rhythm used both in jazz and related blues music, but a lot of the "gypsy jazz" players used a very abrupt dotted-eighth-sixteenth note rhythm pattern instead of the eight-note triplet common to real jazz. Fortunately, real jazz and blues players haven't lost the "swing" feel.
Good afternoon, I like this music ! Let me embed some of the audio from this video in one of my upcoming videos that will be released in a little month, I will put the references of your video in my description, as well as a link to go see your video. Thank you Cordially
The Elevator comment can be forgiven if it's from an uneducated person or a child otherwise it's just uninformed. I would love to live in a buliding where this was the elevator music, it'd be like a breath of fresh air every time you left home.
I'm a Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck fan but this has got to be the greatest guitarist in history.
Funny enough both page and Beck agree with you
So did Chet Atkins, he always put Django at number 1.
And all this with only two working fingers on his left hand…
Yes, agreed. Simply amazing.
@@davidwalker5054 Yup! They will prolly propose a toast to Django after they hear that... 😎🤘🍻

This is truly such an emotionally moving piece. I can feel his soul carrying through the elegant playing. They don't make them like Django anymore.

I showed him how to do that.
It's a guitar tutorial

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Np hay ni habra otro igual y que epoca hermoza!!!!!!
Possibly the best piece of modern guitar music. Django was unparalleled, then, and now.
Django Reinhardt is a master and his Musik remains forever young, merci...👏
The man was from another planet. Simply the maestro of the virtuosos!

well said a lot of people say america had jazz first = gypsy jazz was already happening in europe in the 1930`s .

A friend died yesterday. We're playing this song in his memory. RIP Hobab, you'll never be forgotten.
:( how u holding up now
They played it at my nan's funeral. Always brings a tear to my eyes now

He was the master of the gypsy style, fast, vibrant, full of joy!
One of the greatest guitar solos ever played. Awesome.

Django was such a brilliant player & an inspiration to so many of us. A true virtuoso 100% .
What did 46 people hear that I didn't hear? What I heard was exquisite.
The world cant be perfect because without imperfection there is no perfection
@@redeyes1945 that was very beautiful
I'am reladet too the Reinhardt Family.I play whith my Cousins in honor his Songs.Espesialy when we are on our Summer Tour with our Camping Homes.Cirki
Unfortunately now its 61 people
The word exquisite gets thrown around awfully easily anymore.

Totally agree. Its 40 years since i first heard django and im still awestruck by him no other guitarist has come anywhere near him
Django, the God of the guitar.
What a genius this man was, I discovered Django Reinhardt when my father told me about him years ago when I asked him what is good music to be listened.
I still can't stop listening Djangos pieces.
un immense génie, toujours inspiré !......il est TOUJOURS le plus grand !...
Effectivement et cette version de Django est quand beaucoup plus entraînante qu'en version fingerpicking !
Inégalé/inégalable ! Comme le disait son ami et partenaire Stéphane Grappelli :
The best ever.. He was the best guitar player ever. His performance was absolutely professional. One of the kind.
Really one of my Django favorites . Actually, lots of tongue in cheek in this piece, and from precedents, one cannot totally rule out him being slightly drunk when recording this !
There are many guitarists who can play at breakneck speed, but only Django has that tone
After many years, I consider it still as Django’s magnum opus. I sometimes Imagine Charlie Christian following Django after this solo on a jam session, what I’d give to hear such a thing.
Every one of django's solo's is a perfect musical statement its like he's telling a story most jazz guitarists just disappear up they'r own arse's when they play a solo
The great Chet Atkins said Django taught us all to play,how right he was.this is brilliant
Onvergetelijke muziek uit mijn tienertijd muziek waar mijn ouders van hielden ! Django Reinhardt R.I.P
Great uplifting tune. Thanks Angel Baby
There will never be the likes of Django again pure genius
Il miglior chitarrista di tutti i tempi, ti dà emozione
みんなが知らずのうちに笑顔になる様な音楽！
beautifull note beutifull music godly technique rhytmn feel django had it all no wonder he is praised all over the world🤘🤘, truly one of a kind
Everybody concentrates on his lead but like the chunk chunk guy playing the Rhythm!
Guys
Such feeling!
When my guitar teacher wanted to scare me away from playing too fast too soon, he had me listen to Django so I would realize what true speed with FEEEELing meant.
52 years later I still find there is that perfection which is attainable by mere mortals.
Just discovered this! Absolutely amazing!
Clean pure rich undistorted Guitar playing!! Masterful! ~KJ
Love It *****

Best jazz guitar solo of all time
Le plus grand solo de l'histoire de la guitare
its great to know that there are so much people that like Django too! im so happy that these videos have gotten so many views!
In-cre-di-ble. The whole fucking solo! And what a tone! Perfect articulation. You're the best to play it on guitar. Bravo!
Beautiful . . .
Played like he's giving a workshop for professional guitarists
60 anni senza il grande Django...
At 2:11 I have heard this same lick in other outstanding guitar players ever since excellent🎸🎵🎶👏👍
FIRE in those FINGERS!
Yes for sure.
Pure genius.
I think I first heard this in Woody Allen Stardust Memories when I was fourteen, had a young Daniel Stern in it. Been Djangomaniac since.
Ahhh now this is home
love the phrase at 0:35
I can’t play guitar worth a second glance, but this stuff is awesome!
Thanks.
Amazingly talented individual.
Such great art!
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. It may be too late but I’ll see you in my dreams thank you
That playing is both inspired and inspiring.
one of my favourite songs, thank you for uploading
The one and only genius😊
Greatest.
Imitado nunca igualado y solo con dos dedos de su mano destruida por el fuego ❤
As the fictional guitarist Emmet Ray would say, Django could leave you astonishingly speechless (Emmet fainted) or he could make you cry.
Wonderful.
Il Mio Chitarrista Preferito!
Does anyone know what the rent is for that elevator?I would like to move in please!
How does he sound so clean??? Boggles my mind
pure passion dude! Luv this!
Linda canção!
Beautiful
Genius

Django Reinhardt "Official" ? Official de quoi ? Qui possède des droits sur cette musique merveilleuse ? C'est dingue !
Me gustó mucho la selección subida.
Supremo!!!
That one is a staple in Woody Allen movies, and for a good reason
The world is full of people who tell you you can't do something, the trick is to never listen....
Perfect :)
This is music!!!!
Great ❤
Onunla birlikte olduğun güzel bir rüyadan uyanmak gibi bir son...
Un regalo a la humanidad Gitano!
Virtuose du bon vieux et vrais swing
I'm in love.
William Olsen, i love your way! great!
I used to think about my ex girlfriend when listening to this song. Now i think about the next woman to enter my life and dreams.
Du grand art
Bravo
soundtrack to The Sun Also Rises in my mind haha
The original Gypsy jazzmaster
Atemlos! 🎆🎇

Please tell me there were two guitar tracks here. If he was playing rhythm and melody at the same time....
NOTHING Like It!!!!!!!
