I've not listened to Django Reinhardt since my late teens early 20s
30 odd years ago..

.. part of the process of my youthful keen enthusiastic self education to play guitar..

Django's been gone over half a century, and whatever his brilliance inspired for the good,
is now tempered by a whole lot of dull music college tutored 'world gypsy jazz'
which is frankly very bloated and very very boring..

But then a whole lot of very clever new age instrumental 'celtic folk' music is as equally crap to listen to..

I'm going to find some Django to listen to in the new year..

going back to source.. thanks for the reminder, looking forward to listening again..

maybe he's folk, maybe not..

It's not Django's fault he's cited as an important influence
by so many boring modern easy listening HI-FI CD label contemporary jazz folk fusion recording guitarists..


inoffensive background music for trendy cafes & clothes shops..
