C&L's Late Nite Music Club With Django Reinhardt

Three-Fingered Lightning
By Dale Merrill — January 23, 2020

One hundred and ten years ago today Django Reinhardt was born in Belgium.

Regarded as one of the greatest guitar players of all time, he recorded over 900 sides in his career, starting from 1928 up to his death in 1953.

Tonight in the music club, we will see him joined by violinist Stéphane Grappelli in a clip from 1939.

What are you listening to tonight?
