This so reminds me of my late dad out cycling pre war. Classy, smooth and fast. Went out together when I was a brat kid, and did I get a master class in riding and tactics. Dad looked like his hero, Fausto Coppi, smooth and slick on the bike, whilst was an unmade bed! Years later, I'm slick, smooth and cool on the bike whilst my grandson is the unmade bed ,, Thanks dad and Django, you have done more than you will ever know!!
Stefane Grappelli, one of the great violinists of all time. Certainly the best jazz violinist ever. Django, unfortunately, died young. Stefan continued playing until he passed away at 87.
"J'attendrai" (French for "I will wait" is a popular French song first recorded by Rina Ketty in 1938. It became the big French song during World War II; a counterpart to Lale Andersen's Lili Marleen in Germany and Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again in Britain. "J'attendrai" is actually a French version of the Italian song "Tornerai" (Italian for "You Will Return" composed by Dino Olivieri (music) and Nino Rastelli (lyrics) in 1936, said to be inspired from the Humming Chorus of Puccini's Opera "Madame Butterfly". It was first recorded in 1937 by both Carlo Buti and Trio Lescano (accompanied by the Italian jazz quartet Quartetto Jazz Funaro and become a huge hit in Italy. The French lyrics were written by Louis Poterat, and "J'attendrai" became an instant success. Rina Ketty's version was followed the same year by one of Belgian chanteuse Anne Clercy, and both Tino Rossi and Jean Sablon recorded it in 1939. When France was occupied in 1940, it quickly became the big French war song, with the love song's title being interpreted as meaning waiting for peace and/or liberation.
i refused to believe django played them superfast early solo's like the sheik of araby runnin wild. With only 2 fingers. But you tube proved me wrong. Its almost supernatural
Django's string bends and scale glides were just amazing.Stephon played on an outtake of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in 1975. These guys were the Rock n rollers of their day.
Mind over matter! I remember reading in an interview with another hero of mine, Allan Holdsworth, where he said he never thought of anything being 'impossible'!
It was Django's technique that influenced some of the great rock guitarists of all time. Dickey Betts wrote Jessica back in 1970 and paid tribute to Django using two finger style and made those notes ring by up picking notes with gusto making the tune a signature song for the band.
Well, Django played in both conditions abled and disabled and he was good in both situations. The story goes he worked very hard to reeducate himself but I think his innate sense of rythm probably accelerated the processus.
Reinhardt and Grappelli were the two musicians that started the jazz music style. Here playing early swing jazz, it was a dramatic departure from the music of the day.
My parents loved J attendrai, in Germany IT was titled Komm Zurück, WE Always Had admiration for Django Reinhardt, one of the.best guitarists with immense influence, long before Chet Atkins, etc,
the dexterity of those two fingers is remarkable..clearly he put a lot of hours into that. All people talk about is rock players...little mention of this guy..
@@vincentl.9469 Yes - Tony Iommi strange as it may seem (I was surprised to hear him say that in a TV interview about Black Sabbath)!. BB King mentioned Django as a big influence also. I have come across many 'rock' players who really appreciate jazz and classical music.
Some folks just like being contrary Because sadly this is the only way they know 2 glean the attention of others. Oh well seems similar 2. Deciding 2 dedicate your existence 2 being fodder for statistics
This song is so beautiful that it brings me to tears every time I listen to it! I hope to one day cover it on my keyboard if I even can at all(since the piano/keyboard is obviously different than a violin or guitar). Such a lovely song that everyone should listen to. Yet another thing I like about the song is that all the string instruments are able to stay perfectly in tempo with chords(ik this is common in general and I do it on the piano but still, as someone who actually started playing music on drums this is kinda cool since it's so well composed that drums would ruin it(a rare conclusion if mine lol)).
I’ve loved Django for years.Amazing. When I had new students ( not being used to the size of the neck or stretching their fingers out when just beginning,the common excuse was ,My fingers aren’t long enough , or I can’t get them to stop buzzing...I’d put on a Django record and make them listen to it. After it was over I’d, tell them ,He only has two fingers and a thumb! Don’t worry,but please no more excuses. You just have to train your fingers until they work the way you want them too! Sometimes it might be the angle your sitting at and/ or the position of your hand. It takes awhile, but if he can do that with two fingers..we should be able to do something, ! IF they were driven they’d usually come back... ha
@@stopthehate1749well... thats good to hear,... just practice this scale this way and you will find out its easyer to play this with 2 or even 1 finger than 4, Yaakov said it already, this way is very accurate, good luck my friend☼
And remember , when he got his first pay cheque, he bought a big white Stetson hat ! To play like that with two fingers on his left hand ! Out of this world
Amazing two finger guitarist. And that Stephan Graphelli aint half bad either. All together, all these guys were the players that brought gypsy jazz to the masses.

One of the best guitarist's that ever lived.
one of the deepest influences on every guitarist.....most of them without knowin' what's goin' on.....
If not the Best... Three fingers lighting, was his nickname
@@hans.n.w. Indeed, two was all he could use on the fretboard.
@Marc Oglesby Equal with Charlie Christian in terms of influence
@@mytelecasterworld3336 bless you
When I die,I want to go where these guys went,so I can listen to them for eternity.
😀
@@mangsang980 cf vvg
Absolutely
I think he was despatched during WW11 murders of Romany and Jews.
@@janosk8392 If by despatched you mean killed, then no. He died of a stroke in 1953 aged 42.
That guitar solo… oh my goodness. Every time I listen to it I notice something new. Django the artist.
Whenever I'm feeling down and I need an uplift I listen to Django his music uplifts me and gets me dancing again!
Stefane Grappelli, one of the great violinists of all time.
Certainly the best jazz violinist ever.
Django, unfortunately, died young.
Stefan continued
playing until he passed away at 87.
Had the privilege to see Stefan Grappelli in concert with The Rosenberg Trio at the Wilmington Opera house (DE) in the late ‘80s, amazing performance.
El chileno Hernán Oliva de la Jazz Casino fue un extraordinario violinista de jazz. De lo mejor a nivel universal.
Always loved Stefane, so so sweet
@@PTinsman22 We saw him here in Melbourne Australia in the 70s. Great memories.
Hello Jeff. I thought the playing was superb, but am shamed to say I did not recognize Grappelli. Thanks.
As soon as I discovered this song and Django Reinhardt's playing in General, they became my main habit!! Truly majestic
Stratos Kat the same happend to me
Their music was totally amazing. Just never gets old.

Beste musika der Welt es gibt keine auf der Welt nur janko reinhardt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😢😅
After over 40 years of playing I still can't play with 4 fingers like django played with two.Most influential European jazz artist and a true genius
This is the best version of this song
just listen to this and enjoy th-cam.com/video/72Fvp2s3ZBc/w-d-xo.html

Wonderful piece of musical History thank you for posting this..
Django's string bends and scale glides were just amazing.Stephon played on an outtake of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in 1975. These guys were the Rock n rollers of their day.
That amazing ascending run he does. OMG!!!!!
How amazing he was especially with 2 mangle fingers. I am blown away..!
That run he does at 1:20 is astounding! And with only two fingers! I mean, how is it even possible?
Unbelievable !!!
Django is not human
Mind over matter! I remember reading in an interview with another hero of mine, Allan Holdsworth, where he said he never thought of anything being 'impossible'!
Merci pour ce doux moment de plaisir, merci pour le partage
Oui
Ma questa musica non si produce più. Meno male che c'è TH-cam. Che bellezza!... che qualità!...che jazz armonico!...
Genius man....to do all that with basically only 2 working fingers is unbelievable.
So remarkable musical piece of history 💙.
My uncles brought back an album the hot club after WW2. I have loved them ever since Carry on the hot club uf france
smooth operator on guitar. Timeless beauty.
Quel génie ce Django. ....Quelle belle formation !!BRAVO et merci ça c'est du beau jazz.
An extraordinarily talented band. Fantastic. Not usually a fan of jazz or swing but I love this. Amazing acoustic work.
No one in this world gets even close to Django , hélas ! He was taken from it too early .
I never get tired listening !!
Certainly music of this richness is a product of much love. And not just simple. Discipline
It has the vitality of a living creatur
It doesn't get any better than this.
Great music and great musicians! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎻❤❤❤❤❤
I am obsessed with Django Reinhardt !
This is inate music, sublime from the soul
It was Django's technique that influenced some of the great rock guitarists of all time. Dickey Betts wrote Jessica back in 1970 and paid tribute to Django using two finger style and made those notes ring by up picking notes with gusto making the tune a signature song for the band.
Not to mention a certain left-handed guitarist from Birmingham, UK. . .
Watching this there is proof nothing is impossible! Django is incredible!!!
Simply stunning!❤
Imagine what he could do with his hand in perfect condition....Wow,respect.
Honestly, if he hadn't lost those fingers he probably wouldn't have felt to over compensate by being the best despite the disability.
Well, Django played in both conditions abled and disabled and he was good in both situations. The story goes he
worked very hard to reeducate himself but I think his innate sense of rythm probably accelerated the processus.
Would have been nice if he had no imparmeant but maybe adapting gave him that special sound,,,maybe
For me, this ryhthm band (two guitars and great string) is one "dream band for each lead guitar player.
0:36 badass violin
Stephane Grappelli, the magnificent. Charles Trenet said that Grappelli was also a really outstanding pianist.
That was a person who could make a violin cry with emotion
I am always surprised that so few know that Willie Nelson is a massive Django fan. His soloing is always quoting Django.
thanks for pointing that out. now that you say that i totally hear it. very cool.
Django fills the House Nelson couldn’t fill the toilet 🚽
It shouldn't surprise that any guitar or other player would have great admiration 2 such an obvious indomitable spirit and pioneer of technique
@@tonywright8294 And Django couldn't sing. Do you have a point?
Fantastic!Tnx for sharing!
The quintet of the Hot Club of France, one of the best groups of all times. Django and Grappelli, two giants.
Beautiful song
Timeless - pure quality!
Reinhardt and Grappelli were the two musicians that started the jazz music style. Here playing early swing jazz, it was a dramatic departure from the music of the day.
only 2 fingers on the fretboard and listen to what Django does!!!!!
While this isn't my era of music i certainly love it and this is the guy i try to emirate when i play my nylon string 🎸 DJango forever.
Stephane Grapelli is playing violin with Django Reinhardt .
Violon : Stéphane Grappelli, this song was a great success for Rina Ketty, title "J'attendrai (1938).
My parents loved J attendrai, in Germany IT was titled Komm Zurück, WE Always Had admiration for Django Reinhardt, one of the.best guitarists with immense influence, long before Chet Atkins, etc,
What a master, still blowing minds.

Not true. Most rock artist found django very inspiration to themselves and there music.
@@irishshamrock6162 can you think of any ?

He adapted his playing by overcoming a physical impairment and be able to play fast passages with absolute dexterity!
His impairment was due to being burned in a fire when his gypsy tent caught fire.
@@peterweisz6973 : I read "he was riding a horse-drawn carriage when it caught fire"!

How was the bone?

Now that was music

Watched it over 30 times, can still only play it less than half his tempo..
Cool
Is very fast omg
I actually said, "WHAAAT?" When I heard it the first time.
@@keithrjackson No kidding. I literally said "Woah!" -- all alone, in front of my computer -- at that same spot.

I can't believe he does all that with two fingers!
¡Qué rico!!!
Músicos de maravilla.👏👏👏
Extraordinario....estilo único...

Es muy buena cancion en esos años esa musica era la mejor Y lo deberia seguir siendolo para siempre un beso tyterroy
Soy español tan vien jajajajaja
Love this music.

Django could do more with two fingers than many of us with Ten....
That's what she said.
Awesome!
Smooth af
Not only you can’t stop listening to django , you can’t take your eyes off his fingers too
Unfortunately , not much live videos are left.
Absolute masters
Can’t find this recording anywhere on Spotify. Stéphane sounds amazing on this one
