Djangologists
Django Reinhardt, the pure genius, became the greatest European jazz musician. The Rosenberg Trio, from the Netherlands, is estimated to be leading gypsy ensemble in the musical genre of "Manouche Swing" or "Gypsy Jazz" that owes its very existence to Reinhardt. The Trio will play the Montreal Festival in July 2010. Following the great gypsy musical tradition, these three cousins were taught to practice restlessly, playing the classics over and over again. After the release of their first album, Seresta (1989), their career has taken them worldwide. Django was always a pioneer: a restless composer (although he could not write or read music), an unequalled guitar player who immediately sensed the potential of the Selmer (Maccaferri) guitar, and even an explorer of its amplified sounds. Even today, 100 years after his birth, Django remains surrounded by a double aura of prestige and mystery.
