I have been aware of the music of Django Reinhardt for some time. He spawned what these days is either referred to as Gypsy Jazz or more commonly Hot Club. Sunnie and I have gotten rather enamored with the scene, and here in the Seattle area, we are blessed to have a group called Pearl Django that keeps up the tradition. I strongly encourage you to head out to see them if you can. They are fantastic!

One of the things I appreciate about Django's music, and of those that follow in his footsteps, is that it really moves me. Literally. I can't stop shuffling and tapping and dancing when I am listening to it. I enjoy letting it take me over. :)

This is a tune by the original and not with Stephane Grappelli, Django's usual partner in crime, but with a brilliant violin prodigy named Michel Warlop and his band.
