GUEST,Ancient Briton	Django Reinhardt's banjo recording (2)	Django Reinhardt's banjo recording	16 Mar 07
Some time ago there was a discussion here about guitar banjos and someone (sorry I can't remember who) said that Django had used a guitar banjo but that there were no recordings. I replied that there were - I have one such - but at the time couldn't quote chapter and verse as my vinyl disc was out on loan. I've got it back so here's the detail for anyone who's interested: The tune is called "Ma reguliere" It was recorded in March 1928 by L'orchestre de Jean Vaissade, featuring Django on banjo, together with a guy called inconnu (sifflet a coulisse). It's on a twin album compilation called "toutes les cordes de Django Reinhardt" - recordings from 1928 - 1946, issued by EMI Pathe, reference C 054 - 10.395/96
