There is a wealth mythology and mystery surrounding the legacy of Django Reinhardt. He was a brilliant gypsy guitarist with a mangled hand, who turned his injury into a way of achieving a unique style of voicing and playing. This week's guests, led by Pandora engineer Vic Wong (pictured at left), dissect the sounds that Reinhardt and his confederates created in 1930s Paris. These sounds were a response to the American "hot jazz" records that Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and others were hearing, falling in love with, and using as launching-off points for their own creations. Reinhardt's journey made for a fascinating musical movement, and it's most commonly referred to these days as Gypsy Jazz. It's free and easy to subscribe to our audio shows: here is how to do it.
