In Django, Michael Dregni offers a definitive portrait of the great guitarist. Dregni not only chronicles his remarkably colorful life--including a fascinating account of gypsy culture--but he also sheds much light on Django's musicianship. He examines the multitude of diverse musical forms to which he applied his genius, and the people with whom he collaborated. Along the way, the author offers vivid snapshots of the jazz scene in Paris, and of Django's vagabond wanderings around France, Europe, and the United States. Capturing the extraordinary life and times of one of the great musicians of the twentieth century, Django is a must-read.
