Django Reinhardt - Djangology (1961)


Born in Belgium in 1910 in a gypsy family, Django Reinhardt is said to be one of the most unique and influential guitar players of all times. In 1934, after his exuberant techniques became notorious in Belgium and France, he and legendary violonist Stephane Grappelly formed the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. The group stayed together until 1939. Django then moved to London and toured the US in the 1940s with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, playing electric guitar. This turned out to be a highly influential tour, and it is usually said that no other European artist has had such an enormous impact in the New World.
The material in this LP was recorded in 1949 in Rome, just four years before his death. The recordings remained unpublished till they were rediscovered in the late 50s by a RCA Victor executive. Reuniting Django and Grappelly, the selections are a characteristically varied assortment. The standards are well-chosen: Charles Trenet's "Beyond the Sea"; Fats Waller's exuberant "Honeysuckle Rose", and the perennials "After you've Gone", "Lover Man", and "I Saw Stars". Several of the originals were written by Django and Grappely. "Minor Swing" was devised a few minutes before a 1937 recording session, later becoming a staple at the French Hot Club. "Bricktop" was also written in 1937; "Heavy Artillery", composed in 1944, was one of Dajngo's favorite tunes; "Djangology", composed in 1935, was his first composition. Compelling versions of Trenet's "Menilmontant" and "Où es-tu, mon Amour" ("Where are you, my Love?) are bonus track in this set, a striking and provocative survey of the playing of a mature, moving musician.

Django rules!

This had actually happened before, with Rick Roderick's lectures on Nietzsche...

We had received an e-mail on saturday, and by sunday the post was gone. It seems not to matter whether the blog administrator removes the link or not: they simply delete the entire post.

We decided to remake the entire post, mostly to document such "no share" incidents and, well, share them with our friends.

juju - hope this shit doesn't bring your mood you down!! any request at rs results with link-killing, no proof required. google/blogger isn't different.

you'll never know if it was a 'legit' complaint, a stoopid jealous blogger, or another fuckhead.

shit on it, and be

lucky! ;)

Of course it won't bring my mood down! Of course, JR's hats turn green everytime such things happen (and they've been happening quite a lot), but the Ewings' blood is too hot and red for such incidents to weaken our resolve.

I doubt it was a "stoooopid jealous blogger" (jealous of what?) or any given fuckhead, since the original upload had been deleted from rs. The new link is available elsewhere.

The funny thing is that the complaint about Nietzsche, which was supposed to become public in that particular site, is still to be published. It is unlikely, therefore, that the Django complaint will be known, ever.

I shit on it, for sure.

Cheers!

Grr, I pressed "preview" not "publish"...oh well. It was just a link to a "stop internet censorship" image. The IFPI sucks! You have a great blog, thanks!

* Why school districts use behavioral interview techniques. "If people have patients, and prepare before trying to fill out internet-based job applications, the process will go smoothly, but it is still time consuming. We can help with that," Deer said. For more information on resume assistance programs call GLD Enterprises Commercial Writing at (937) 902-4857 or visit www.gerydeer.com. While a resume details your knowledge, skills, qualifications and experience in a list format, a properly written cover letter complements the resume by injecting your personality into an otherwise impersonal document. A well written cover letter projects an image of a positive and capable individual eager on beginning a lasting career in the company of his choice. And prior to a face of face meeting during an interview, this is the only opportunity that you have to convey this desire. Best Jobs Ever is an hour long look at dream jobs. Some are no-brainers, such as Victoria's Secret photographer, Hollywood stunt woman and high-end car purveyors. Ans. Stages of Career Development
