Django inspired music as a well established  contemporary genre with no name, and yet many names – Jazz Manouche, Swing Gitan, Gypsy Jazz, etc – it reflects in a direct way the many facets of the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt himself.  The genre today has a natural spectrum from rustic, traditional jazz, via sophisticated modernistic jazz, a variety of folklore elements, and rock, to contemporary, classical, and even a symphonic approaches. Few other types of music can capture the same idioms.  Django's music has become a fantastically popular and nostalgic genre today.

Duets for Django!
