Forty-Four Classic Solos by the Legendary Guitarist with a Complete Analysis

The solos of Django Reinhardt are an endless source of inspiration and amazement for any musician. In The Music Of Django Reinhardt: Forty-Four Classic Solos, the author has compiled precise solo transcriptions (in notation only), as well as a thorough analysis of each. There is also a complete 'how to' section. The Music Of Django Reinhardt: Forty-Four Classic Solos contains some of Django's best work. It covers a period of 17 years, from Django's first trio and quintet recordings to one of his last bop-influenced sessions, Live at the Club St. Germain.

Multiple versions of many solos are included to show Django's musical development over his long career. Studying the music of the master of Gypsy Jazz can help lay a solid foundation for your own sound and style.
