Django Celebration #02
The Django Celebration collection pays tribute to Django Reinhardt through intergenerational encounters. This volume brings together Tchavolo Schmitt, an emblematic figure of gypsy jazz, and Fanou Torracinta, the Corsican guitarist he inspired from the very beginning. Thirteen years after their first joint tour, they reunite around their shared passion for the waltz, beautiful melodies and the sonic exploration of the acoustic guitar. On the program: Django classics (Daphné, Stompin' at Decca), revisited standards (Confessin', I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Stardust), and two unexpected gems Grieg's Norwegian Dance and Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender. A close and virtuoso duo, faithful to the spirit of exchange and freedom of the master Django.
