Anouman is the first song of this limited-time 7 FREE Song series and it's the last song on my record MAKE IT A SUNNY DAY (Drycastle Records). It's the only Django song that I put on the record, I wanted to send that "thank you always" note for having started all if it for anybody who plays guitar, so I wanted to keep the best for last. On the record it's also very different and infact the melody is played by the vibraphonist Gianni Maestrucci. I hope you enjoy and long-live Django!
From Wikipedia:
Jean "Django" Reinhardt[1] (French pronunciation: [dʒãŋɡo ʁɛjˈnaʁt] or [dʒɑ̃ɡo ʁeˈnɑʁt]; 23 January 1910 -- 16 May 1953) was a Belgian-born French guitarist and composer of Romani heritage.[2][3]
Reinhardt is often regarded as one of the greatest guitar players of all time and was the first important European jazz musician who made major contributions to the development of the genre. After his third and fourth fingers were paralyzed when he suffered burns in a fire, Reinhardt used only the index and middle fingers of his left hand on his solos and invented an entirely new style of jazz guitar technique (sometimes called 'hot' jazz guitar) that has since become a living musical tradition within French Gypsy culture. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, he co-founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, described by critic Thom Jurek as "one of the most original bands in the history of recorded jazz."[4] Reinhardt's most popular compositions have become jazz standards, including "Minor Swing", "Daphne", "Belleville", "Djangology", "Swing '42", and "Nuages".
