This is very very interesting
if you are a Djangologist. Such a work of collecting articles covering
Django deserves a thumb up. I'm still not done reading it, so much
stuff. Unique comments here and there, lot's of the same stuff though
but that is normal considering the scope of magazines.
Foreword
This unique and fascinating
collection is a result of one mans dedication and foresight in recognizing
Django’s eternal genius from the moment he heard the first recordings
made by the Quintet in the mid-30’s. For Reinhardt fans old and new,
always hungry for any snippets of information that might help gain insight
into the life of the greatest guitarist who ever lived, it represents
a gold mine. |
