This so reminds me of my late dad out cycling pre war. Classy, smooth and fast. Went out together when I was a brat kid, and did I get a master class in riding and tactics. Dad looked like his hero, Fausto Coppi, smooth and slick on the bike, whilst was an unmade bed! Years later, I'm slick, smooth and cool on the bike whilst my grandson is the unmade bed ,, Thanks dad and Django, you have done more than you will ever know!!
This is such an important film it's almost impossible for me to describe how grateful I am to the uploader, now I'm off to watch another hundred times.
Stefane Grappelli, one of the great violinists of all time. Certainly the best jazz violinist ever. Django, unfortunately, died young. Stefan continued playing until he passed away at 87.
"J'attendrai" (French for "I will wait" is a popular French song first recorded by Rina Ketty in 1938. It became the big French song during World War II; a counterpart to Lale Andersen's Lili Marleen in Germany and Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again in Britain. "J'attendrai" is actually a French version of the Italian song "Tornerai" (Italian for "You Will Return" composed by Dino Olivieri (music) and Nino Rastelli (lyrics) in 1936, said to be inspired from the Humming Chorus of Puccini's Opera "Madame Butterfly". It was first recorded in 1937 by both Carlo Buti and Trio Lescano (accompanied by the Italian jazz quartet Quartetto Jazz Funaro and become a huge hit in Italy. The French lyrics were written by Louis Poterat, and "J'attendrai" became an instant success. Rina Ketty's version was followed the same year by one of Belgian chanteuse Anne Clercy, and both Tino Rossi and Jean Sablon recorded it in 1939. When France was occupied in 1940, it quickly became the big French war song, with the love song's title being interpreted as meaning waiting for peace and/or liberation.
Django's string bends and scale glides were just amazing.Stephon played on an outtake of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in 1975. These guys were the Rock n rollers of their day.
Mind over matter! I remember reading in an interview with another hero of mine, Allan Holdsworth, where he said he never thought of anything being 'impossible'!
i refused to believe django played them superfast early solo's like the sheik of araby runnin wild. With only 2 fingers. But you tube proved me wrong. Its almost supernatural
It was Django's technique that influenced some of the great rock guitarists of all time. Dickey Betts wrote Jessica back in 1970 and paid tribute to Django using two finger style and made those notes ring by up picking notes with gusto making the tune a signature song for the band.
Reinhardt and Grappelli were the two musicians that started the jazz music style. Here playing early swing jazz, it was a dramatic departure from the music of the day.
Well, Django played in both conditions abled and disabled and he was good in both situations. The story goes he worked very hard to reeducate himself but I think his innate sense of rythm probably accelerated the processus.
My parents loved J attendrai, in Germany IT was titled Komm Zurück, WE Always Had admiration for Django Reinhardt, one of the.best guitarists with immense influence, long before Chet Atkins, etc,
the dexterity of those two fingers is remarkable..clearly he put a lot of hours into that. All people talk about is rock players...little mention of this guy..
@@vincentl.9469 Yes - Tony Iommi strange as it may seem (I was surprised to hear him say that in a TV interview about Black Sabbath)!. BB King mentioned Django as a big influence also. I have come across many 'rock' players who really appreciate jazz and classical music.
@@stopthehate1749well... thats good to hear,... just practice this scale this way and you will find out its easyer to play this with 2 or even 1 finger than 4, Yaakov said it already, this way is very accurate, good luck my friend☼
This song is so beautiful that it brings me to tears every time I listen to it! I hope to one day cover it on my keyboard if I even can at all(since the piano/keyboard is obviously different than a violin or guitar). Such a lovely song that everyone should listen to. Yet another thing I like about the song is that all the string instruments are able to stay perfectly in tempo with chords(ik this is common in general and I do it on the piano but still, as someone who actually started playing music on drums this is kinda cool since it's so well composed that drums would ruin it(a rare conclusion if mine lol)).
I’ve loved Django for years.Amazing. When I had new students ( not being used to the size of the neck or stretching their fingers out when just beginning,the common excuse was ,My fingers aren’t long enough , or I can’t get them to stop buzzing...I’d put on a Django record and make them listen to it. After it was over I’d, tell them ,He only has two fingers and a thumb! Don’t worry,but please no more excuses. You just have to train your fingers until they work the way you want them too! Sometimes it might be the angle your sitting at and/ or the position of your hand. It takes awhile, but if he can do that with two fingers..we should be able to do something, ! IF they were driven they’d usually come back... ha

One of the best guitarist's that ever lived.
one of the deepest influences on every guitarist.....most of them without knowin' what's goin' on.....
If not the Best... Three fingers lighting, was his nickname
@@hans.n.w. Indeed, two was all he could use on the fretboard.
@Marc Oglesby Equal with Charlie Christian in terms of influence

I think he was despatched during WW11 murders of Romany and Jews.
@@janosk8392 If by despatched you mean killed, then no. He died of a stroke in 1953 aged 42.
Stefane Grappelli, one of the great violinists of all time.

Stefan continued
playing until he passed away at 87.
Had the privilege to see Stefan Grappelli in concert with The Rosenberg Trio at the Wilmington Opera house (DE) in the late ‘80s, amazing performance.
El chileno Hernán Oliva de la Jazz Casino fue un extraordinario violinista de jazz. De lo mejor a nivel universal.
Always loved Stefane, so so sweet
@@PTinsman22 We saw him here in Melbourne Australia in the 70s. Great memories.
Hello Jeff. I thought the playing was superb, but am shamed to say I did not recognize Grappelli. Thanks.
That guitar solo… oh my goodness. Every time I listen to it I notice something new. Django the artist.
Beste musika der Welt es gibt keine auf der Welt nur janko reinhardt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😢😅
Whenever I'm feeling down and I need an uplift I listen to Django his music uplifts me and gets me dancing again!

As soon as I discovered this song and Django Reinhardt's playing in General, they became my main habit!! Truly majestic
Stratos Kat the same happend to me
This is the best version of this song

@@Zumbi2405 Very nice! and different again: ua-cam.com/video/HSAN5g_v0e4/v-deo.html
Their music was totally amazing. Just never gets old.
After over 40 years of playing I still can't play with 4 fingers like django played with two.Most influential European jazz artist and a true genius
Dancing in the barracks in stalog 17. Once the best movies of all time.
Thankful for recorded sound. Merci!
How amazing he was especially with 2 mangle fingers. I am blown away..!
one of the best music videos of all time on you tube
That amazing ascending run he does. OMG!!!!!
Django's string bends and scale glides were just amazing.Stephon played on an outtake of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in 1975. These guys were the Rock n rollers of their day.
So remarkable musical piece of history 💙.
That run he does at 1:20 is astounding! And with only two fingers! I mean, how is it even possible?
Unbelievable !!!
Django is not human
Mind over matter! I remember reading in an interview with another hero of mine, Allan Holdsworth, where he said he never thought of anything being 'impossible'!
Wonderful piece of musical History thank you for posting this..
Simply stunning!❤

His contemporaries were Charlie Patton, Charlie Christian & Blind Willie Johnson.
Incredible Giants of Human Achievement in Art & Music.
Gypsy Magic
@@fletmok3548 He made up for it with his pick, very accurate, and of course his superb vibrato
Beautiful song
This is inate music, sublime from the soul
Ma questa musica non si produce più. Meno male che c'è UA-cam. Che bellezza!... che qualità!...che jazz armonico!...
Merci pour ce doux moment de plaisir, merci pour le partage
Oui
My uncles brought back an album the hot club after WW2. I have loved them ever since Carry on the hot club uf france
Certainly music of this richness is a product of much love. And not just simple. Discipline
It has the vitality of a living creatur
Quel génie ce Django. ....Quelle belle formation !!BRAVO et merci ça c'est du beau jazz.
No one in this world gets even close to Django , hélas ! He was taken from it too early .
I never get tired listening !!
Great music and great musicians! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎻❤❤❤❤❤
smooth operator on guitar. Timeless beauty.
Watching this there is proof nothing is impossible! Django is incredible!!!
Piękne wykonanie i piękna i muzyka. 😍❤
An extraordinarily talented band. Fantastic. Not usually a fan of jazz or swing but I love this. Amazing acoustic work.
Amazing Django . Love you forever❤️❤️❤️
I am obsessed with Django Reinhardt !
It doesn't get any better than this.
Fantastic!Tnx for sharing!
Timeless - pure quality!
Unbelievable and stunning charm
While this isn't my era of music i certainly love it and this is the guy i try to emirate when i play my nylon string 🎸 DJango forever.
UNE MERVEILLE !
The quintet of the Hot Club of France, one of the best groups of all times. Django and Grappelli, two giants.
Genius man....to do all that with basically only 2 working fingers is unbelievable.
Que dire de plus .... juste écouter sans jamais sans lasser 💕💕💕💕à jamais dans nos cœurs
It was Django's technique that influenced some of the great rock guitarists of all time. Dickey Betts wrote Jessica back in 1970 and paid tribute to Django using two finger style and made those notes ring by up picking notes with gusto making the tune a signature song for the band.
Not to mention a certain left-handed guitarist from Birmingham, UK. . .
Gracias por compartir este tesoro.
0:36 badass violin
Stephane Grappelli, the magnificent. Charles Trenet said that Grappelli was also a really outstanding pianist.
That was a person who could make a violin cry with emotion
What a master, still blowing minds.
Happy Birthday Django!
And Happy Birthday Django, again in 2021! Your music lives on and on...
¡Qué rico!!!
Músicos de maravilla.👏👏👏
Reinhardt and Grappelli were the two musicians that started the jazz music style. Here playing early swing jazz, it was a dramatic departure from the music of the day.
Always puts a smile on my face ❤️
Piękne wykonanie i piękna muzyka
Piękny dźwięk skrzypeczki
80 years on it's still fantastic music l
Imagine what he could do with his hand in perfect condition....Wow,respect.
Honestly, if he hadn't lost those fingers he probably wouldn't have felt to over compensate by being the best despite the disability.
Well, Django played in both conditions abled and disabled and he was good in both situations. The story goes he
worked very hard to reeducate himself but I think his innate sense of rythm probably accelerated the processus.
Would have been nice if he had no imparmeant but maybe adapting gave him that special sound,,,maybe
Beautiful music in a world that's about to explode.
For me, this ryhthm band (two guitars and great string) is one "dream band for each lead guitar player.
Que gran belleza musical
Love this music.
Violon : Stéphane Grappelli, this song was a great success for Rina Ketty, title "J'attendrai (1938).

GREAT AUDIO.

Good old days , Walkman strapped to belt and jumping out of boxcars a few times a week for 2 years to this song.
He adapted his playing by overcoming a physical impairment and be able to play fast passages with absolute dexterity!
His impairment was due to being burned in a fire when his gypsy tent caught fire.

I am always surprised that so few know that Willie Nelson is a massive Django fan. His soloing is always quoting Django.
thanks for pointing that out. now that you say that i totally hear it. very cool.
Django fills the House Nelson couldn’t fill the toilet 🚽
It shouldn't surprise that any guitar or other player would have great admiration 2 such an obvious indomitable spirit and pioneer of technique
