Reinhardt was born in a Gypsy caravan in the winter of , and his parents wandered about Europe, playing music at town fairs and village flea markets. His mother, Laurence Reinhardt, was a dancer; her last name had been chosen by the clan sometime in the distant past. On his birth certificate, Reinhardt's Christian name was given as Jean, although few of his fellow Romany knew him as such. He was always very proud of his name. I didn't know that Reinhardt started out playing the violin, before taking up the banjo and guitar. I knew that he had suffered a serious accident, but I didn't realize that he was 17 years old when his caravan was set ablaze by a dropped candle. He was horribly burned; doctors thought they might have to amputate his left leg. His left hand was nearly completely destroyed by the flames; his ring and little fingers were inflexible claws, and nerves and tendons in his hand were withered and difficult to control. He obviously had to learn to play the guitar and banjo all over again, using only his thumb, index and middle fingers on the frets, while forming new chords and arpeggios vertically rather than horizontally on the fretboard. Reinhardt's story is all here: his convalescence, during which his young wife left him with their first-born son l'Ourson "bear cub , which soon became simply Lousson; his meeting, in the summer of , with a fellow musician whose association would forever alter his life, the violinist Stephane Grappelli; their formation of Le Quintette Du Hot Club De France ; his subsequent ascent to the pinnacle of the golden age of swing, despite the fact that jazz was outlawed in Nazi-occupied France; his big band; his less than stellar visit to the U. But don't take my word for it; if this glimpse into one of the most important and fascinating chapters in jazz history has piqued your interest, you'll want to sample this readable, wonderfully-illustrated text for yourself.

Jazz guitarists in the U. In fact, Byrd, who lived from to , said that Reinhardt was his primary influence. Guitarist Mike Peters notes that "the word 'genius' is bantered about too much. The popularity of gypsy jazz has generated an increasing number of festivals, such as the Festival Django Reinhardt held every last weekend of June since in Samois-sur-Seine France , [42] [43] the various DjangoFests held throughout Europe [44] and the US, and Django in June, an annual camp for Gypsy jazz musicians and aficionados. The movie covers Django's escape from Nazi-occupied Paris in and the fact that even under "constant danger, flight and the atrocities committed against his family", he continued composing and performing. The documentary film, Djangomania! The hour-long film was directed and written by Jamie Kastner, who traveled throughout the world to show the influence of Django's music in various countries. The festival was organized by George Wein. Numerous musicians have written and recorded tributes to Reinhardt. Ramelton, Co. Donegal, Ireland, each year hosts a festival in tribute to Django called "Django sur Lennon" or "Django on the Lennon" the Lennon being the name of the local river that runs through the village. In coincidence with the th anniversary of Django's birth, a graphic novel depicting his youth years was published under the title "Django Main de Feu", by writer Salva Rubio and artist Efa through Belgian publisher Dupuis. French recording artist, Serge Krief [55]. Many guitar players and other musicians have expressed admiration for Reinhardt or have cited him as a major influence. Jeff Beck described Reinhardt as "by far the most astonishing guitar player ever" and "quite superhuman". Grateful Dead 's Jerry Garcia and Black Sabbath 's Tony Iommi , both of whom lost fingers in accidents, were inspired by Reinhardt's example of becoming an accomplished guitar player despite his injuries. Garcia was quoted in June in Frets Magazine :. His technique is awesome! Even today, nobody has really come to the state that he was playing at. As good as players are, they haven't gotten to where he is. There's a lot of guys that play fast and a lot of guys that play clean, and the guitar has come a long way as far as speed and clarity go, but nobody plays with the whole fullness of expression that Django has. I mean, the combination of incredible speed — all the speed you could possibly want — but also the thing of every note have a specific personality. You don't hear it. I really haven't heard it anywhere but with Django. Toots Thielemans [57]. Andrew Latimer , of the band Camel , has stated that he was influenced by Reinhardt. Willie Nelson has been a lifelong Reinhardt fan, stating in his memoir, "This was a man who changed my musical life by giving me a whole new perspective on the guitar and, on an even more profound level, on my relationship with sound During my formative years, as I listened to Django's records, especially songs like 'Nuages' that I would play for the rest of my life, I studied his technique. Even more, I studied his gentleness. I love the human sound he gave his acoustic guitar. Although he is famous for composing scores for two movies by Woody Allen , respectively "Vicky Barcelona" and "Midnight in Paris", most of Wrembel's music has been inspired by Django Reinhardt. From to , he has released five volumes of the series "Django Experiment" composed of covers of Reinhardt's compositions as well as creations inspired by him. In Wrembel also released "Django l'impressionniste", 17 never-published solo pieces composed by Reinhardt between and Reinhardt recorded over sides in his recording career, from to , the majority as sides of the then-prevalent RPM records, with the remainder as acetates, transcription discs, private and off-air recordings of radio broadcasts , and part of a film soundtrack.

    Data » Personalities » Django Reinhardt http://romani.uni-graz.at/rombase Django Reinhardt Peter Wagner Today is the 1st of November, 1928, All Saint’s Day, late in the evening. The Reinhardt family shares this holiday with the souls of the deceased, particularly with a young one, only lately deceased, for whom the caravan has been decorated with artificial flowers. Young Django Reinhardt is returning from a concert, most probably preoccupied by an offer by Jack Holton, the English master of symphonic jazz, to move to him to England and play in his orchestra. Fate, however, had decreed otherwise. He lights the candles, and with them the flowers, and immediately the whole caravan catches fire; the family is glad to escape with their lives. For the young, promising musician, this incident is a catastrophe. His left leg is badly burnt, it will later have to be operated on, but what is worse, two fingers of his left hand remain unable to function, which is to lose the basis of existence for a goldsmith or a musician. But not Django Reinhardt. A fanatic love of music had already rooted in him, and a present – a guitar which should support his therapy – makes it break out. Notwithstanding his handicap, an inner need to express himself via music makes him return in all his virtuosity within one and a half years, equipped with additional, original means of expression. His new technique arouses amazement and curiosity with a whole generation of guitarists and musical researchers. It is difficult to judge the role of his handicap in this still significant– mainly among the Roma – school.

  • HA-Bio New 2010
    Howard Alden- Jazz Guitarist “He may be the best of his generation,” writes Owen Cordle in JAZZ TIMES. George Kanzler of the NEWARK STAR LEDGER proclaims that he is “the most impressive and creative member of a new generation of jazz guitarists.” And Chip Deffaa of the NEW YORK POST observes that he is “ ...one of the very finest young guitarists working today.” It seems that the only thing regarding Howard Alden on which the critics have debate is whether the remarkable jazz guitarist is one of the best or simply the best. Born in Newport Beach, California, in 1958, Howard began playing at age ten, inspired by recordings of Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Benny Goodman, as well as those by guitarists Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and George Van Eps. Soon he was working professionally around Los Angeles playing in groups ranging from traditional to mainstream to modern jazz. In 1979, Alden went east, for a summer in Atlantic City with vibraphone legend Red Norvo, and continued to perform with him frequently for several years. Upon moving to New York City in 1982, Aldenʼs skills, both as soloist and accompanist, were quickly recognized and sought-out for appearances and recordings with such artists as Joe Bushkin, Ruby Braff, Joe Williams, Warren Vache` and Woody Herman. He has continued to win accolades from critics and musicians alike, adding Benny Carter, Flip Phillips, Mel Powell, Bud Freeman, Kenny Davern, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie and George Van Eps, as well as notable contemporaries such as Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski to his list of impressive credits.

In 2012, the Cité de la musique will be shining the spotlight on Django Reinhardt in the exhibition “Django Reinhardt, Paris swing” showing in Paris from 6 October 2012 to 23 January 2013. The multimedia version will be available from mid-November 2012. Django Reinhardt, Paris swing “All the miraculous poetry surrounding the child thieves, fortune-tellers and the dreaming white horse tied up on a roadside, escorted you on your departure. Transforming a painted caravan into a sports car is not the least of your talents. Now, you have become one with your heavenly guitar riffs and brass ensembles. Your rhythm has shaken the universal malaise to the core. And if we survive to the last era, we shall perhaps hear your orchestra compose an arrangement to the trumpets of the Apocalypse.” Jean Cocteau “I think that Django Reinhardt’s music would appeal to anyone, from the intellectual to the taxi driver. The beauty of his music is so immediately perceptible.” Woody Allen, filmmaker “He is the Holy Spirit. Django is the greatest improviser of all times. He has composed heavenly music, like Bach or Chopin. In his hands, even the wrong notes are amazing.” Thomas Dutronc, guitarist and singer Jean Cocteau, Portrait of Django Reinhardt, c.

  • Django Reinhardt: the Journey of the Gypsy King
    Django Reinhardt: The Journey of the Gypsy King [Minor Swing ] [Black Slide] Introduction: The ideas of art music and folk music have always been separate and somewhat black and white. The virtuosity of performance and the complexity of composition have largely defined art music—just as simplicity and relatability have done that for folk music. To combine the two styles of music for creation’s sake is not a new musical idea, but historically the end product generally has seemed to privilege and to lean more towards art music rather than folk. Django Reinhardt, however, is one of the first musicians to ever take it in the other direction, elevating folk influences to be on a par with classical ones. His ability to take simple rhythms and melody lines and add complex virtuosic guitar improvisation over those melodies are what make the gypsy style so innovative, aesthetically rewarding, accessible, and historically influential. His contributions in gypsy jazz have left their mark on other styles of music such as blues, rock and roll, bluegrass and other jazz styles. Furthermore, if we were to mention the greatest guitar players of the last century, we would have to include Django Reinhardt on the list. 1:15 History of Django and his disability: As with most European gypsies, the Reinhardt family was constantly on the move. Therefore, the story of Django Reinhardt's birth is somewhat unclear. However, we do know that he was born somewhere near a little town called Liberchies in Belgium in a gypsy encampment on January 23 rd , 1910. He was named Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt, and as with most gypsy children, he was given a nickname.

  • Django Reinhardt's Melodic Formulas
    Django Reinhardt’s Melodic Formulas (“Licks”) Here are forty-one melodic formulas that comprise part of Django Reinhardt’s musical vocabulary. This isn’t an exhaustive list—there are more. It’s just some of the common ones. A lot more information about these formulas, including several complete solo transcriptions illustrating their use, can be found in the third chapter of my book, The Music of Django Reinhardt (University of Michigan Press, 2010). The book doesn’t include tablature notation. For quite a few of the listed formulas, I’ve shown more than one variant (for example, the first one shows four variants: F1a, F1b, F1c, and F1d). The variants are grouped together because they share melodic features—they’re not necessarily fingered similarly. The tablature beneath the standard staff notation shows plausible ways of fingering each formula. Naturally, there are lots of alternatives, and I haven’t necessarily tried to guess how Reinhardt himself might have fingered them. What’s more, since I’m a very bad guitarist, I probably haven’t even always indicated the most logical fingering; sorry—I tried. I’ve transcribed a representative instance of each formula as played by Reinhardt on a specific recording. Beneath the staff notation, I’ve indicated the track title, date, and measure number where each selected example occurs. (The measures are numbered by chorus and by bar number within each given chorus. For instance, “2.3” means the third bar of the second chorus.) Above the staff notation, I’ve shown the harmonies over which Reinhardt played each transcribed formula.

  • º 1 º Left-Hand Technique
    The Music of Django Reinhardt Benjamin Givan http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=119336 The University of Michigan Press, 2010 º 1 º Left-Hand Technique ver the years, a considerable mystique has surrounded not only Reinhardt’s musical legacy but also his singular personal his- Otory, which was marked by an early life-altering event. On the night of October 26, 1928, the eighteen-year-old musician returned from a playing engagement to his caravan at a gypsy encampment out- side Paris.1 As he prepared to retire to bed, a candle’s open ›ame acci- dentally ignited a large pile of celluloid ›owers that Bella, his ‹rst wife, planned to sell the next day. Bella escaped from the blaze with minor in- juries, but the right side of Reinhardt’s body was burned so severely that a surgeon at the Hôpital Lariboisière recommended his leg be ampu- tated to prevent gangrene. Reinhardt refused, instead undergoing surgery (under chloroform anesthetic) to open and drain his wounds, which involved the application of silver nitrate to dry the ›esh and cause scars to form. During a recovery period of almost two years he regained the use of his leg, but the third and fourth ‹ngers of his left hand were permanently damaged. That Reinhardt managed to relearn his instru- ment with an entirely new playing technique has been a source of awe and mystery ever since. Little else is known about Reinhardt’s accident or, for that matter, his early life in general. The musette music that he began playing in his early teens was an urban vernacular form that emerged during the late nineteenth century and remained popular as live entertainment in France in the years after World War I.

  • The Assimilation of American Jazz in Trance, 1917-1940
    le hot the assimilation of american jazz in trance, 1917-1940 William h. kenney iii The assimilation of American jazz music in France, an instance of the cultural transmission of an emerging American musical art, began at the time of World War I. Within the subsequent history of jazz in France lies the tale of the progressive mastery of the two principles of improvisation and rhythmic swing and the modification of American sounds to suit the particular cultural terrain of France between the two World Wars. The process was eased by the obvious fact that France already contained, indeed originated in some cases, the basics of western music: instrumental definitions, chromatic and diatonic scales and the myriad chords from which they were constructed. Still, the principles of melodic and particu­ larly harmonic improvisation were little known in France as was the surprising phenomenon of rhythmic swing so that when early jazz arrived in that country French musicians knew most of the vocabulary of jazz without knowing how to make jazz statements. A small number of French musicians learned to "sing" with a swing and in the process created their own "école française de jazz." Ragtime and the musical precursors of jazz were carried from the U.S.A. to France by military bands sent by the American government in 1917. The most famous was the 369th Infantry Regiment's Hell Fighters Band, an all-Black outfit organized and led by James Reese Europe. Europe was a pioneer of ragtime in New York City where he had organized 0026-3079/84/2501-0005S01.50/0 5 concerts of Black music, headed the famous Clef Club, and accompanied Irene and Vernon Castle's introduction of the foxtrot in America.
