Hi guys!
Some people here may know Django Reindhart. If you don't, well, catch up, he's the first "guitar hero", and was cited as a big influence by many greats, such as BB King, etc.

Yesterday night, I went to a concert, with Romane, the world's best specialist in Django's style. As a show opener, there was "Django's Memory", that consisted in Django's only Grandson (I had seen Babik, Django's son, around 5 years ago, and this one, David Reinhardt, his his only child, Babik died 2 years ago)
I was totally amazed at how fluent this 16 years old kid was... He played amazing bop lines, great chords, and he had the "feel" of gipsy jazz.

I only put this thread here so that you guys might chek some Django.. You won't be disappointed. (get "nuages" "sweete georgia brown" "les yeux noirs" "manoir" those are my favorites)
