5 out of 5 stars Son of Django swings with a jazz quartet.......2006-05-28

If you've watched the film "Chocolat", you might have admired the Django Reinhardt guitar piece that forms the humorous musical thread, adding to Portman's excellent soundtrack. If you are a jazz fan, you know the legendary name of the Romany guitarist from Germany.

If you miss Django, or if you are just getting into jazz, you can't do much better than with Ismael Reinhardt's "Gypsy Swing."

In Germany, a particular tribe of Rom (Gypsies) is known as Sinti. They are quite different than other Rom people who wander all over the world, but mainly in Asia and Europe. The Sinti are musicians by vocation, and developed a sort of jazz known as Gypsy Swing. It spread among all Romany musicians and is the only jazz style that that originated in Europe. It sprang up in the 20's in the Jazz Hot clubs of Paris.

The style is acoustic, with guitar of course, but also clarinet, drums and piano. This album has a quartet, Reinhardt on violin and guitar, Thomas Kennel on guitar, and Guggeli Wagner, another Gypsy swing musician, on guitar. Jean-Luc Miotti, reknown bass player, rounds out the quartet.

If you like jazz classics, swing, and an acoustic, almost chamber-music style, you'll love this CD.
