DJANGO RELOADED VOL 1

Description

Django 2.0? It's everywhere: Django Reinhardt's music is timeless. He created a grammar, a school, a musical movement. A world that has been regularly celebrated in the form of albums played "in the spirit" or "in the style" since his passing in 1953. As if one could engrave in stone the improvisations of the man with the wind-blown soles. According to Jean Cocteau, "Django dead is one of those gentle beasts who die in a cage." No, Django remains elusive, affirm Benjamin Blackstone and Yoann Kempst. Games without limits. Django Reloaded features two virtuosic, polymorphic, and adventurous guitarists who explore their contemporary popular culture in light of Reinhardt's poetry... "We wanted to project Django into the current world, even into a dystopian future, by playing on the contrast between the outdated nature of some pop, rock, or variety hits, and the sophistication of gypsy jazz arrangements." As suggested by the album cover, Django Reloaded vol.1 is a tribute to the Reinhardt mystery, to Django's raw power, and to the poetic force of his legacy.
