Djangology
I found a video at iFilm.com and was immediately taken by it. It is an old movie short (an early music video) of Django Reinhart, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club of France. I had my sister listen to the piece and she described it as "happy music." I have since then bought (yes, people do still buy music) three Django/Hot Club compilations out of the UK. Some of the best music pound for pound I have heard in a loooooong time.
The wow part of the story is Reinhart's fret playing with only two usable fingers on his left hand. It's big band music played with a guitar and a violin as leads. Just wonderful music and how it took me this long to finally hear it!?
