Joseph Reinhardt: Bric à brac (Circa 1955)

[XXZtormentorZXX]

These two guys were just absolutely amazing! 

[petertranart]

I always love his recording of There Will Never Be Another You. It has such a wonderful and tasteful tone, I listened to that one a billion times over.

[rowolski100]

as brothers they must have shared licks, I'm sure I heard the lick from "Diminishing" in there at 1.20, tres interesting

[76Soco]

Seems like he only used two fingers for his leads!

He is a very good player.

[indy4ever]

that was really enjoyable, and thanks for your very illuminating commentary at the side. I've been a Django fan for a while but this makes me want to learn about Joseph

[Khamomil]

I just learned today from Wikipedia (French) that Django died at age 43 from a cerebral hemorrhage. I also realized there is no "famous words" by Django. All he had to say he siad it with his guitar, and boy what eloquence! But he's mysterious in some way for that reason. We're so used to words.

En plus il joue sur une buche qu'il a fait!!

It's a pity he plays on a bloody piece of wood he made

[LiberoMan]

Thank you for posting ;) Amazing clip =D

family talent

Well, Joe may not have been as accomplished as Django as a soloist, but he does an excellent job here, better than most of the subsequent crops of Django wannabes. I know the two being brothers who's father was a musician too, they probably were both taught how to solo, not just rhythym, so though Joe was the rhythym player generally, I'm sure he was familiar enough with the elements of soloing so he could switch places with Django when they felt like it.

The guitar Vivian Villerstein plays is a  Super de Luxe, made by the Jacobacci Bros. sold by Major Conn in Paris. The pickup on Joseph Reinhardt's guitar is a RV Tonemaster, made by Steve Brammer, also sold by Major Conn, usualy found on Jacobacci guitars. Marc Sabatier + Jean Debèze

[KarloR27]

Ok but I'd rather listen to Django.

[STorpedo]

hold on a sec, didnt he burn his 3+4th fingers in a fire? or can he use them for chords?

[Goodoysters]

that was his brother Django Reinhardt, his carvan cought on fire and that how he lost his other to. Joseph played rythm for his much more famous broth until his death, this is after Django's death so now he (joseph) is playing the solos

[jwg007]

Joseph didn't always play with Django and often put his own bands together. he also dealt in scrap metal. Django had many accomplished rhythm guitar side men..and brought the younger generation in to his fold. Joseph put down the guitar after Django's death (from an aneurism on May 16th 1953) in honour of his big brother, and didnt pick it back up for a couple of years.

[heidski]

I was just listening to a recording to this song on the way to work, and thought I'd try YouTube to see if I could find anything. Unbelievable! Thanks so much for making this available. He's one of my favorite guitarists! Who's playing rhythmn?

[joealesi]

Joseph's accompanist, Vivian Villerstein, is playing American style flat four rhythm on an archtop guitar. (see comments about the video in the upper right hand corner by clicking on "more".)

It is great clip and a great tune, isn't it?

[gassmagio]

Hi, this tune is getting in my head since three weeks almost non-stop! Any idea where I can find a transcription of it?

Thanks a lot for posting the video anyway :)

[Motoguzzijeff]

I heard that after Django died, Joseph didn't pick up the guitar again for several years and that while with the Quintet du Hot Club of France, Django wasn't always so nice to him....never letting him solo and making him carry his gear around..But thats just what I heard...Django (and those who played with him) are and always will be very close to my heart. Thank you for posting this short clip!!!

[jwg007]

Django was very much a difficult persona at times, going from extreme generosity to down right meanness. Especially later on when the lucrative gigs were not so common, he would haggle with band mates over their fee. Quite a few left his band to later return or not at all. It wasn't that he MADE Joseph carry his guitar, that was the respect due to him as 'gypsy guitar king." When Duke Ellington invited Django to New York, he turned up without his selmer, ended up borrowing his first electric..

[cartemure]

Anyone know the name of the song?

[joebandana]

man hes awesome

[UjVodka]

super!!

Elle datte de quand la vidéo?

What is the date of the video?

[joealesi]

Sorry. I do not know date of the video. I presume after Django's death in 1953, but I'm not sure.

[Bachelorno3]

awesome!

[perwer7]

Djangos brother is not half bad. Very nice.
