Django led me to start listening closely to guitarists and collecting albums of his, Grappelli, Kottke, Fahey and others, and maybe ultimately to learning to play. What a great sound!

Yes, he was a true genius on guitar, and an inspiration. Especially remarkable when you consider he had permanently damaged two fingers on his left hand in a fire.

Sorry for the mistake - Grappelli, not Grapelli.

I've got a 78 of The Quintet of The Hot Club of France playing Nuages, with Stephane Grapelli and Django weaving their own particular brand of magic. Lovely music!

No matter how many wonderfully gifted gypsy-jazz players I hear, I'm continually blown away by the power and expression that Django injected into his playing. The ultimate, naturally gifted player.
(In my humble opinion)
