Django Reinhart

Since discovering the greatness and beauty of jazz and swing in the late 80s many artists have got me curious about they're sound.Django is one one these artist and hear of but not really listened to so of course I went our library and ordered a box set.
everytime I discover a new jazz singer or player I think of my Dad.He gave me my first jazz record in 8th grade.He was expanding my record collection and broadening my taste in music at the same time.Im sure he was saying to himself.I gotta get this kid listening to more than she is.
Not to boast but I think he was proud of how Ive grown up musically.It all started with a Herb Albert record..the one of the girl covered in whipped cream.Yeah you know the one..admit it!
