Django Reinhardt has earned himself a unique place in the history of music with his highly individualized style of guitar playing. -- A sentence I admire, being that Django Reinhardt stood true to his sound, something he believed in.  This album really helps me relax when I'm feeling uptight and wound up with tension.  It also makes me want to get up and dance, which is something I do on a regular basis to music that I enjoy listening to.  I wanted to bring something out of my element and I'm a huge jazz fan and why not flip through my records to one that caught my eye.  Plus I like the name Django!!

Enjoy!
