Charlie Haden and Escoudé plays Django Reinhardt. Curious is that they are not gypsy, but ratter cool and smooth. A beautifully conceived and unforgettable album.

“Django” is a (beautiful) composition by John Lewis, the (great) pianist of the Modern Jazz Quartet!
A lot of the pieces on the album were written by gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt... and Escoudé is a bop guitarist, not a manouche-style player. He recorded a lot for Emarcy (France) back in the early 1990s.
I love everything Haden does, and this one is no excetion. A great album.
Thanks for putting it here
