Swing Guitar - The Genius of Django Reinhardt

 

USA 2006, 46 minutes
Rating: [G]
Genres: Music, Documentary / Jazz & Blues

 

Aroview: Short but informative documentary about the legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, who rose from obscurity as a European gypsy to become perhaps the most acclaimed virtuoso of the style.

This fact is all the more remarkable considering he had only two functioning fingers on his left hand, after a fire had left the others paralysed. Featuring most of the known footage of the maestro, this features generous excerpts from many classics, including solos by longtime partner, the violinist Stephane Grapelli.
