Django was a true guitar genius: completely self-taught, he forged a style with astounding technique (despite losing two fingers on his left hand in an accident), a kind of fusion between jazz and Gypsy music, whose incredible drive, rich inspiration, and virtuosity continue to haunt the nights of many guitarists seventy years after his death. The tracks that made his reputation, in a trio, quintet, or accompanied by a big band, are collected on a vinyl record. His biography, written by Alain Gerber, is illustrated by Jean Charles Baty.
