Echoes of France: Django

[MrGorfreeman]

Ce doux parfum de libération qui flotte sur cette musique ...

[lolita19711]

viva la resostonse

[erriburlep]

pourquoi n'est ce pas la version officielle ?? personne ne pourrait se plaindre des paroles !!! liberté égalité djangolité !!!

[Floreal78]

Does anyone know the origin of the second photo showing the girl and the french soldier?

[dormouse72]

Oui sauf que les races ça n'existe pas mon ami. Si tu es Italien, ou catho ou super intelligent ça n'aide pas du tout à jouer du bon Jazz. Tu es ce que tu veux être.

[Agressiviste]

@dormouse72 Les races, ça existe. Avant de dire de la merde, on lit wikipédia.

[trrrrrrranquile]

@Agressiviste , fait gaffe, c'est délicat d'employer le mot race pour parler des différentes populations humaines. On préfère employer "type" (par exemple, le "type caucasien"), du moins il me semble. Mais c'est juste une classification d'anthropologues, qui ne porte pas de jugement sur l'un ou l'autre de ces "types" de physiques.

[ThEMXx8]

@Agressiviste évidemment quand on prend wikipédia comme référence ...

[Glock699]

Who in their right mind dislikes this song, unless they accidently clicked the wrong thumb trying to "like" this video... thats my guess. Either way it's an amazing song.

[LAURENTGIANEZ57]

ha donc l europe a de la chance de m avoir je suis italien ( verone/ asiago )je joue de la musique de jazz étant francais de naturalisation de 1942 en mai je fait partie de la meme race que grappelly sauf que j suis pas homo = gianésini lorenzo gilberto fils de gianesini jean/ strazzabosco / urbani / zamichiel / gisamolo( PSEUDO gianez) salut J SUIS CONTENT

[claude4268]

La lumière du swing pour éclairer l'une des périodes les plus sombres de notre histoire... çà nous change de la pitoyable interprétation des "bleus"... Heureusement qu'il y a le JAZZ !!!

[papyjojo89]

et la vie est moins triste

[hxcteenagekicks]

@mitek9 Thats because the Beatles did use the start of this song. Which Django ripped off himself. It's called La Marseillaise and its the french national anthem ;)

[dormouse72]

Heureusement que les manouches et les italiens sont venus nous faire de la bonne musique... Sinon c'était André Claveau jusqu'à la mort....Vive le Jazz

[LAURENTGIANEZ57]

@dormouse72 ha oui pourquoi les italiens ca m; interesse = gianesini

[dormouse72]

@LAURENTGIANEZ57 Les Italiens parce que Stéphane Grappelli était d'origine Italienne.

[Alx31]

meilleure version de la marseillaise qui existe a mon humble avis!!!

Django forever!

[aviatorsbh]

Isn't that the music heard in Oakwood in Lost Heaven in the PC game Mafia?

[BERTRAMCAT]

VIVE LA FRANCE ETERNELLE.

DJANGO PRESIDENT.

[astyanax83]

waouuuuuuuuuuuuu  !!!

[gipcambero]

@mitek9

the beattlesdirectly ripped of the French National anthem

[martinanie]

DJANGO merci eric ecoute et pleure

[Zofsupalova]

Hé oui Brice et Eric, la culture tzigane en France, ça ne date pas d'hier, et ça ne se résume certainement pas aux faits divers rapportés par J-P Pernaut...

[aklevo]

A funky swingn'n collection of Django Reinhardt & Co. Total of 146 videos. Play and enjoy!

[MrJoko97]

beginning so awsome

[foathkent]

fucken who is the guy in the pic he is a character

[RATM44]

Si Rouget de Lisle pouvait vous entendre...Il serait certainement admiratif !

[PlanTrabajar]

As heard in MAFIA (the game)!

[claudedrouhin]

Superbe ! Merci

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Now why couldn't he try Jazzing up the American Anthem.

[BERTRAMCAT]

Birthday of DJANGO, sweetie¨¨¨¨

[BERTRAMCAT]

le jour de Gloire est pour Django

[Galeande]

@BERTRAMCAT Django AND Grapelli there...Just saying!

[Miousic2000]

vive la france ! vive DJANGOOO !!

[hhm28061953]

@Miousic2000 yes no one could do it better anytime

[augie699]

I wonder what the Blonde looks like today?

[claudevesco]

Good question : she's a grandma now...

[skaskunks]

I wonder if that soldier ever made it back to the blonde... :)

[yacno]

@skaskunks Je crois que non... =P

I don't think so...

[nath453]

when i first heard this song i just knew it was by Django you can't just tell by the quality of the guitar work.

[kidcouger]

Call me crazy,But i wish this song was in Guitar Hero

[IpkisStanley]

guitar hero sucks monkey balls. if all the douches who played it spent the same amount of time playing a REAL instrument then they we'd all be a lot better off!

[Nicoteenlable]

damn echt?

[12112vw]

The beginning sounds like "All You Need Is Love" anyone else hear that?

[domi60]

Tout à fait c'est la marseillaise (hymne national français) comme Hendrix a fait avec l'hymne américain

[eugenecraddock]

it's the french national hymn

[12112vw]

thats cool, thank you. :)

[zolderok]

Ofcourse. Because it'a a British hymn

[elgringoborracho]

o my god you're such an idiot... All you need is love starts with a bit of la marseillaise that's why... Please tell me you're five

[richardab]

Absolutely stunning. This guy is the maestro. Pity he died so young :(

[markdidrickson]

Can anyone source the second photograph? - the girl and the soldier?

[ckelegancja]

to jest dobra muzyka

[guitarman63mm]

What a beautiful tune. Forget all the cheesy orchestral arrangements and pseudo-soul singers, this captures the essence of the song perfectly.

[geocepa]

the british recording engineers caught the full magic of his tone and projection,not to mention the stunning solo and chords.There will never be another Django,but thank God he is still alive as we speak on millions of sound systems 24 hours a day. Geocepa

[BERTRAMCAT]

marvelous,

vive la France

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

I refer of course to the the unusual note at 0:22.

This happens to me at least once every day.

Stephane using that is nothing short of ingenious.

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

Stephane is so awsome. He makes something I do on accident that normally sounds horrible, into a component of his improvisation.

Fucking awsome. I'm going to try replicating that idea sometime.

[taildragger51]

Platypus: Yes, Stephane was superb! Grappelli was also one of the funniest people around. At around 75 yrs old he totally wrecked a hotel room during a Neo-Nazi rally in Bavaria. The police thought 'Guns 'n' Roses' had been there. Unbelievable guy. There'll never be another Reinhardt & Grappelli.

[domi60]

hé oui il est plus rock que les pseudo-rockers!

[ahmadbanna]

best of songs comes with best of games mafia

[airsoftking12111]

aahhhhhh classic mafia music

[WAMEDJO]

@airsoftking12111

How's that it became Mafia's music instead of Django's, Debussy a composer on Twilight and Beethoven's now a fu..in dog ? Not to mention a car named Picasso ... (Mafia's not bad though)

[psychodelicmonkey]

c'est tres bon. (mon Francais ce pas tres bon, my apologies)

[Solivago]

J'adore..mais il faut dire que à l'epoque ne fut guere bien reçue, da'apres les chauvinistes c'etait un effrontement à la dignité française

[teranosaur]

eh bien...ce sont les Francais;-)...ils font des choses comme ca:-D

[solyturaw]

super musique super la marseillaise en swing

[iouss31]

mon morceau préféré, je peux l'écouter des heures en boucles sans que ça me soûle :)

[LAURENTGIANEZ57]

@iouss31 moi je la joue
