Swing from France: Django's Music - Daphne, 1940 (Paris)

Django Reinhardt was one of Europe's earliest jazz musician's to gain fame on the international level. His style of choice was Gypsy Jazz on the guitar, spending much of his youth in gypsy camps near Paris. By the mid '30s he was playing alongside the likes of Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter and Louis Armstrong and leading his own band which is now a legend: Hot Club de Paris. During WWII, Reinhardt escaped the fate of many other Gypsies who were sent to their deaths at the hands of the Nazis. It has been reported that Reinhardt had an influential fan in the Luftwaffe. His popularity soared in post war Europe and beyond thanks in part to his musical partnership with Stephane Grappelli. Reinhardt retired in 1951 and died in 1953 after collapsing outside his house from a brain hemorrhage.

@brandoieyo its that game that got me into this type of music, good old rapture, if only eh!

@ghostofjamie Music, musical taste. and what he called blacks has nothing to do with what happened with Hitler and Germany in the '30s and '40s. He had good, but limited, musical taste and my dad would use the "N" word but did not believe in war.
