Django's UK Itinerary 1934
- Aged 24
Cabaret A three week gig in April 33 at the "Monseigneur Club" in Piccadilly accompanying Jean Sablon. Sablon used the traditional French cabaret chanson into his own individual sound. In his time was often referred to as the “French Crosby”. Was also a lyricist and composer of songs. One of his well known songs was “Sur Le Pont D’Avignon from 1939. Although the "Melody Maker" reviewer thought Sablon was good, he felt the accompanying group, which also included clarinet/saxophonist Andre Ekyan, was a waste of time. Sablon is credited with arranging Reinhardt's debut in a fashionable cabaret in 1933. Django possibly made
his first radio broadcast during this visit. Roy Fox Band at the Monsiegneur Club London with Al Bowly on Rhythm Guitar - A Selmer Maccaferri was it an Eddie Freeman - No.
